What Is Dental Bonding?
If you have issues with spacing, discoloration, chips, or cracks, you may need extreme measures like a crown or braces. However, with the option of dental bonding, a dentist can improve the appearance of your smile in less time.
At Gentle Dentistry, your family dentist in Tampa, FL, you may be a good candidate for dental bonding if you have cosmetic issues with your teeth.
Purposes Of Dental Bonding
Dental bonding, sometimes referred to as teeth bonding, is a procedure that involves a dentist applying a special tooth-colored dental composite to one or more of your teeth. This treatment can repair damage like cracks and chips, discoloration, gaps, and small or oddly shaped teeth.
The Dental Bonding Procedure
The process will start with determining an ideal shape for your tooth. Ultimately, the design will blend in seamlessly with the rest of your natural teeth. After all, one of the purposes of dental bonding is to fix noticeable flaws in your teeth, thus creating a more uniform smile.
The surface of your tooth will be slightly roughened with a specialized dental tool, allowing the bonding agents to adhere to your tooth. After the composite resin is placed on your tooth, the material will be hardened with a special light.
