What is Cosmetic Dental Bonding?
Cosmetic dental bonding tends to be much simpler than other kinds of aesthetic dentistry. All in all, it’s a treatment that places tooth-colored resin on a patient’s flawed teeth. Doing so hides a smile’s minor flaws (small stains, chips, cracks, etc.) from view, leaving you with a grin you’re proud to sport!
At Sweet Smiles Family Dentistry, cosmetic dental bonding only takes a visit or two. It often starts by cleaning the relevant teeth and removing their damaged or decayed bits. Once the treatment site is clean, we apply and sculpt the tooth-colored resin onto your enamel. Our team wraps things up by polishing your teeth and making some last-minute changes.
Who is a Good Candidate for Cosmetic Dental Bonding?
Almost any patient can qualify for cosmetic dental bonding; you just need a fairly healthy smile. However, the fact remains that treatment suits some people more than others. The bonding process isn’t very effective at hiding major smile flaws – deep stains, severe chips or cracks, etc.
Given the points above, the best treatment candidates are those with one (or more) of the following:
- Light to Moderate Tooth Stains
- Enamel with Small Chips or Cracks
- Slightly-Gapped Teeth
- Oddly-Shaped or Malformed Teeth
- Teeth That Seem Short or “Stubby”
You’ll ultimately want to consult our dentists before you decide anything. After all, they can give you a close oral exam to confirm whether cosmetic dental bonding suits you. They’d then use their findings to draft a customized treatment plan.
The Benefits of Cosmetic Dental Bonding
While it’s known for its light touch, cosmetic dental bonding has some pretty notable benefits. These include:
- An Easy Treatment – Because it doesn’t “prep” your teeth, cosmetic dental bonding is a very smooth procedure. It can often be done quickly and painlessly in one hour!
- Versatile Effects – Tooth-colored resin can cover the whole fronts of teeth. As such, cosmetic dental bonding can treat stains, chips, cracks, misalignments, etc.
- Simple Maintenance – Regular oral care allows patients to maintain cosmetic dental bonding results. That way, they can enjoy effects that last 5-10 years.
- Cost-Effective Care – By combining a low price with quality results, cosmetic dental bonding represents a cost-effective dental procedure.
