The Benefits Of Dental Bonding
Aesthetically Pleasing
Dental bonding can dramatically enhance the appearance of your smile. The resin used in the procedure is carefully matched to your natural tooth color, ensuring a seamless and natural look. Whether you're dealing with discoloration, chips, or gaps, dental bonding can effectively mask these imperfections and give you a smile you'll be proud to show off.
Preserves Natural Teeth
Unlike other dental procedures that may require the removal of a significant amount of your tooth structure, dental bonding preserves your natural teeth. The bonding material is applied directly onto the tooth, which means minimal tooth alteration is necessary. This makes dental bonding a much less invasive procedure, reducing the risk of complications and preserving your natural tooth structure.
Quick and Convenient
One of the main advantages of dental bonding is its convenience. Most bonding procedures can be completed in a single office visit, making it an ideal choice for those with busy schedules. The procedure typically takes between 30 to 60 minutes per tooth, meaning you can achieve a transformed smile in just one appointment.
The Dental Bonding Treatment Process
Preparation
The dental bonding process begins with a thorough examination of your teeth to ensure they are healthy and suitable for the procedure. Dr. Ewoldt will then select a composite resin color that closely matches your natural teeth.
Bonding Application
Once the perfect shade is chosen, the surface of the tooth will be roughened, and a conditioning liquid applied. This helps the bonding material adhere to the tooth. The tooth-colored, putty-like resin is then applied, molded, and smoothed to the desired shape.
Hardening and Polishing
The final step involves hardening the resin using a special light. Once the material is set, Dr. Ewoldt will trim and shape the bonded tooth, followed by a final polish to give it the same sheen as the rest of your teeth.
