What is bonding?

Have you ever used putty to fill chips or cracks in wood? Dental bonding is a very similar process. Composite resin, a soft, flexible material is added to your tooth enamel, then hardened with a curing light. After the material hardens, your Fayetteville dentist may make a few adjustments before polishing the bonded area. Composite resin is available in the most common tooth colors to ensure that your dental work is unnoticeable.

Is dental bonding a good option for me?

Do you feel a little self-conscious about your smile? Bonding can transform a problem tooth in under an hour. It's an excellent solution if you have a crack or chip in a tooth. Although bonding is a good choice to hide shallow cracks, a crown may be a better option if you have a large crack. Crowns prevent large or deep cracks from fracturing your tooth.

Discolorations are hidden from view as soon as little composite resin is applied to your tooth. Changes in tooth color can occur if you took the antibiotic tetracycline when you were young or if a tooth injury or dental procedure resulted in a darkening of the tooth.

When one or two teeth draw unwelcome attention to your smile, dental bonding can restore uniformity. The treatment is often used to lengthen teeth that have shortened due to grinding or even change the shape of crooked, twisted, pointed or oddly shaped teeth. Although braces may be needed if the majority of your teeth are crooked or if you have a bite issue, bonding provides a simple way to transform the appearance of a tooth that doesn't look like surrounding teeth.

Some people love their gapped-tooth smiles, others would do anything to conceal the spaces between their teeth. If you dislike your gap, the addition of a little composite resin will make slight spaces disappear instantly.
