Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure that involves applying a tooth-colored resin to repair minor imperfections in your teeth. It’s an effective solution for fixing issues like chips, cracks, gaps, discoloration, or slightly misshapen teeth. The procedure is relatively quick and painless, often completed in a single visit.
During the bonding process, your dentist will first select a resin color that closely matches your natural teeth. The tooth’s surface is then slightly roughened, and a conditioning liquid is applied to help the bonding material adhere. The resin is applied, molded to the desired shape, and then hardened with a special light. Once the resin is set, the dentist will polish it to blend seamlessly with your other teeth.
Dental bonding is a cost-effective and minimally invasive option for enhancing your smile, providing immediate results that can last several years with proper care.
