What is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves applying a tooth-colored resin material to the teeth. The material is then bonded to the tooth using a special light, which hardens it and allows it to adhere to the tooth.
The procedure is commonly used to improve the appearance of teeth that are discolored, chipped, cracked, or misaligned. It’s a quick and easy way to improve the appearance of your smile without having to undergo more invasive procedures like dental crowns or veneers.
How Can Dental Bonding Help?
Dental bonding can help in a variety of ways. Here are just a few of the benefits:
- Improve the appearance of discolored teeth
- Fix chipped or cracked teeth
- Improve the appearance of misaligned teeth
- Fill in gaps between teeth
Candidacy
There are many factors we at Executive Dentistry consider when consulting for dental bonding such as:
Tooth decay: If you have active tooth decay, dental bonding may not be an option until the decay is treated.
Gum disease: If you have gum disease, you may not be a good candidate for dental bonding. The dentist will need to treat the gum disease before performing the procedure.
Large cavities: If you have large cavities, dental bonding may not be an option. In these cases, a dental crown may be a better option.
Bite issues: If you have bite issues, dental bonding may not be recommended. The dentist may need to perform orthodontic treatment to correct the bite before bonding.
