What Tooth Imperfections Can Dental Bonding Correct?
Within the realm of cosmetic dentistry, there are multiple dental treatments for improving flawed teeth. One of these is composite resin bonding. At Cooper Dental Group, we use teeth bonding for gaps, chips, cracks, stains, and other imperfections you want to conceal. Dr. Andrew Perkins and Dr. Adam Tow are your go-to dentist for dental bonding in the Ormond Beach, Florida, area. Here’s what you should know about this treatment.
What is composite resin bonding?
Bonding is one of the easiest ways to improve your smile’s appearance. The process is quick, non-invasive and pain-free. Your Ormond Beach dentist will use tooth-colored resin material to cover minor defects in your teeth and improve your smile’s appearance. We’ll match the color of the resin mixture to the color of your teeth so that it looks completely natural. Once in place, we’ll mold the resin material to the shape of your teeth and cure it with UV light for hardening. Bonding will leave your smile looking smooth, white, and unblemished.Â
How long does the process take?
Depending on the number of teeth you want to fix, dental bonding can be done in one or two visits. Each tooth takes between 30 and 60 minutes to complete.
What imperfections can dental bonding correct?
Your Ormond Beach dentist can use teeth bonding for gaps to improve your smile’s symmetry. Bonding also works well for repairing chips and cracks in your teeth, shoring up a broken tooth, concealing tooth stains, and reshaping thin, small, or irregular teeth.
Does teeth bonding hurt?
Bonding is a painless treatment that doesn’t require anesthesia. The resin mixture is applied directly to your existing teeth without altering their structure. If you have decay, gum disease, or other dental issues, they will need to be addressed before your cosmetic treatment.
What’s the recovery time for bonding?
There is no downtime for bonding. You can return to work, school, or home duties immediately afterward or eat and drink comfortably. Â
What kind of aftercare is there for bonding?
The best way to care for bonded teeth is with good oral hygiene. Good brushing and flossing habits and routine dental cleanings will keep your bonded teeth looking attractive and healthy for years. As the resin material can stain, we recommend you avoid stain-causing foods and drinks. Bonding is also prone to breakage, so it’s best to avoid hard foods. With good oral care, dental bonding can last 5-7 years.
