What Is Dental Bonding?
Cosmetic dental bonding is a simple, affordable treatment that can eliminate a wide range of minor dental flaws. To achieve an enhanced smile through dental bonding, a biocompatible composite resin is placed over the affected tooth and sculpted to restore damaged or missing enamel. The resin used in bonding can be color-matched with adjacent teeth to deliver incredibly natural-looking results. After just one visit with Dr. James Candon, your cosmetic dentist in Indian Land, you can walk out of our doors with a rejuvenated smile!
What Flaws Can Dental Bonding Fix?
Dental bonding is a versatile cosmetic treatment that can used in the following situations:
- Repair cracked or chipped teeth
- Close small gaps between teeth
- Reshape irregular teeth
- Lengthen undersized teeth
- Smooth uneven pits and grooves
- Conceal and brighten stained or discolored teeth
What Is the Procedure for Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding can typically be completed in just a single visit to BridgeMill Dental Care. As it is a nonsurgical treatment, you probably will not require anesthesia unless you are experiencing dental anxiety.
Once you are settled into your chair, Dr. Candon will prepare your teeth by cleaning and drying them. He will also gently etch the top of the surfaces of the selected teeth and may apply a conditioning liquid to help the bonding resin stick to the enamel.
Next, Dr. Candon will apply the bonding material to your teeth and expertly sculpt it to repair cracks, stains and other imperfections. He will then use a special ultraviolet light to harden the composite resin in place.
It really is that simple! Once Dr. Candon polishes the affected teeth and makes sure you can bite down comfortably, you can leave and continue on with your day.
Dental Bonding Aftercare Tips
Your new and improved smile should last for years to come, but you can help extend its lifespan by following these simple tips:
- Brush thoroughly twice a day for a full two minutes each time
- Floss at least once daily
- Avoid chewing on hard foods or ice to prevent damaging the bonding material
- Limit consumption of dark foods and drinks that can stain teeth, like black coffee or red wine
- Do not smoke tobacco
Is Dental Bonding Right for Me?
Are you generally unhappy with the way your smile looks? Do the small cracks or stains in your teeth just drive you crazy every time you see your reflection in the mirror? You may be an excellent candidate for cosmetic dental bonding!
