What Can Dental Bonding Fix?

Dental bonding can be used to address various cosmetic concerns, including:

  • Chipped or cracked teeth.
  • Discolored teeth.
  • Gaps between teeth.
  • Short teeth to make them appear longer.
  • Misshapen teeth.
  • Protecting exposed tooth roots due to gum recession.

The Dental Bonding Process

The bonding procedure is typically quick and often requires little to no anesthesia. It involves:

  1. Preparation: The surface of the tooth is slightly roughened and a conditioning liquid is applied to help the bonding material adhere.
  2. Resin Application: The tooth-colored resin is applied, molded, and smoothed to the desired shape.
  3. Hardening: A special ultraviolet or laser light is used to harden the resin material.
  4. Polishing: Once hardened, the bonded tooth is polished to match the sheen of your other teeth.
