What Is Cosmetic Bonding?
Cosmetic dental bonding offers both restorative and aesthetic benefits. A composite resin is shaded to the color of enamel to blend in with a tooth when used to fix various issues, like:
- Tooth Decay
- Exposed Tooth Roots
- Chips and Cracks
- Stains and Discoloration
Cosmetic bonding creates results that look natural and can last for 5 to 15 years with the right aftercare, like brushing and flossing.
Dr. Long will examine your mouth to determine if you're a candidate for cosmetic bonding. The procedure takes 30 to 90 minutes, depending on how many teeth you are treating. Dr. Long may administer a local numbing agent to block any pain, but it isn't always necessary.
After cleaning your tooth, she will place a weak acid on it to open the pores in your enamel to ensure a strong bond. Your tooth is rinsed and dried before the resin is placed on it. After molding it into the ideal shape, Dr. Long will use a special dental light to harden it in a few seconds. She'll smooth and polish your tooth, and you'll walk out of our dental office with a beautiful smile that you'll be proud of.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Cosmetic Bonding?
