The Benefits Of Dental Bonding
Improves Appearance
One of the most significant benefits of dental bonding is its ability to dramatically improve your smile. By fixing chips, cracks, and discoloration, dental bonding can enhance your appearance and boost your self-esteem. Whether you're preparing for a special event or simply want to look your best every day, dental bonding can help you achieve a radiant smile.
Preserves Natural Tooth Structure
Unlike other cosmetic dental procedures, dental bonding does not require extensive removal of your natural tooth structure. This means that more of your natural tooth is preserved, which is beneficial for your long-term oral health. Dental bonding is a conservative treatment that can provide significant aesthetic improvements while still maintaining the health and integrity of your natural teeth.
Quick and Painless
Dental bonding is a quick procedure that typically requires only one visit to our office. The process is painless and does not require anesthesia unless it's being used to fill a decayed tooth. This makes dental bonding a convenient option for those with busy schedules or those who may be anxious about dental procedures.
The Dental Bonding Treatment Process
Preparation
The first step in the dental bonding process is preparation. Dr. Sean Wilson will use a shade guide to select a composite resin color that closely matches the color of your natural teeth. This ensures that the bonding will blend seamlessly with your smile.
Bonding Application
Once the correct shade has been selected, the surface of the tooth will be roughened and a conditioning liquid applied. This helps the bonding material adhere to the tooth. Dr. Wilson will then apply the tooth-colored resin, molding and smoothing it until it's the proper shape.
Hardening and Polishing
The final step in the dental bonding process is hardening the resin. Dr. Wilson will use a special light to harden the material. Once it's hardened, he will trim and shape it further, then polish it until it matches the sheen of the rest of your tooth. This completes the bonding process, leaving you with a beautifully restored smile.
