If you have discoloured, cracked, or chipped teeth, cosmetic tooth bonding might be the solution. Neighbourhood Dental is pleased to offer this cosmetic dental procedure to improve the overall feel and look of your teeth and help you achieve the smile you desire.
Cosmetic tooth bonding is a dental procedure whereby a tooth-coloured composite resin is applied to one or more of your teeth in order to cover any defects or damage, improve the structure of the tooth, and/or enhance overall appearance. It is a fast procedure and does not require any down time. You do not require any anesthesia, and you are able to continue with your normal daily routine once complete.
Your dentist will first determine the correct shade of resin colour to use that closely matches the colour of your natural teeth. The surface of your teeth will then be roughened, and a liquid will be applied that allows the bonding agent to stick to the tooth. The composite resin is then applied over the liquid, and your dentist molds or shapes the tooth and then hardens the material with a special ultraviolet light. If necessary, the tooth can be further shaped after the resin hardens. The entire procedure typically takes between 30-60 minutes, although sometimes it may run longer depending on the extent of your circumstances. Dental bonding is a natural looking option; most people do not even realize you have a bonded tooth unless you decide to tell them!
If you are looking for an effective way to repair discoloration, a chipped tooth, or a gap in your tooth, cosmetic tooth bonding might be right for you! To learn more about tooth bonding, or to set up an appointment, call Neighbourhood Dental at 825-221-1888 today.
