What Is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding is a dental procedure used to restore or enhance the shape, size, or color of your teeth. It can also be used to fill in gaps between teeth or cover up discoloration and damage caused by dental decay or trauma. The process involves using a specialized composite material which is applied and then hardened with a special light, resulting in a natural look that also strengthens the treated tooth. Teeth bonding offers patients a quick and affordable way to improve their smile’s cosmetic quality while also reinforcing the treated teeth, often in only a single visit.

What Is the Process Like?

Having a dental bonding procedure is a straightforward process and usually only requires a single visit to complete. After a consultation and examination, we will apply the dental composite material to the affected teeth and use special tools to shape it to your preference. We then harden the composite material with an ultraviolet light or laser, trimming away any excess before polishing it for a natural-looking finish. The entire process typically lasts under an hour for each tooth, allowing patients to have more than one tooth bonded per visit. From start to finish, the process is well-tolerated by patients, even those with sensitive teeth. It is also normal for having the procedure with local numbing, so you can expect to be comfortable throughout your visit.

Benefits of Dental Bonding

Dental bonding provides a variety of dental benefits, making it one of the most popular cosmetic treatments we offer. Some benefits our patients can expect can include:

Improving the look, feel, and shape of your teeth
Strengthening damaged or decayed teeth
Closing off gaps between teeth
Covering discolored areas or stains on your teeth
Making existing dental implants and crowns even better

Signs It Is Right for You

If you are not sure dental bonding is the right choice for you, there are a few signs below that could help you decide. If you have a chipped, broken, decayed, or discolored tooth, it can help as a fast way to repair the tooth. It’s also a great choice if you want to close gaps between your teeth, improve the shape or length of your teeth, or just want to enhance the overall look and feel of your dental structure. The first step is to set up your appointment and learn if dental bonding is a good match for your goals and needs. Even if bonding is not the choice for you, we are happy to inform you about our other cosmetic and restorative options, matching you with a treatment that will meet your expectations. Some other popular options can include dental veneers, teeth whitening, or even dental crowns.

How Long Does a Dental Bonding Last?

The dental bonding material we use is quite durable and can be long-lasting when cared for well. With proper dental hygiene, it can last for years before it needs to be redone. Regular dental visits are essential to keeping your dental bonding in top condition and its effectiveness intact. We also highly recommend keeping up healthy dental hygiene at home and avoiding habits that can negatively impact your teeth, such as smoking or sugary diets. With the right combination of personal care and lifestyle choices, you can expect your dental bonding to last up to ten years. If your bonded tooth begins to show signs of wear and tear, we can restore the bonding material or provide a different restorative treatment based on your needs.
