What Is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding is a quick, conservative way to enhance the appearance of your smile. This treatment can be used to effectively improve minor cosmetic dental flaws and give your smile a more inviting, attractive appearance. During the bonding process, our dentist places a tooth-colored material known as composite resin on the tooth structure. We then carefully shape the resin to fit your tooth and improve imperfections. The resin is hardened with a special light, and finally, we polish it and make any last adjustments to give it a natural, beautiful look. In many cases, little to no tooth preparation is needed for bonding, so your treatment will not require any shots, needles, or drills.
Do I Need Bonding?
Dr. Alberto A. Herrero may recommend dental bonding if you are searching for a cosmetic dental treatment that is noninvasive and fast; we can typically complete a bonding treatment in just one visit of less than one hour. With cosmetic bonding, we are able to improve the appearance of smile flaws such as:
- Gaps in between teeth
- Misshapen teeth
- Worn-down teeth
- Cracked, broken, or chipped teeth
- Exposed tooth roots
- Stained, spotted, or discolored teeth
