If you’ve heard of dental bonding, then you may have already visited us to learn all about the ways it can improve your smile. You know that it’s quite the multi-tasker, capable of filling the spaces between teeth, covering up issues like little stains, making short teeth appear longer, fixing shape issues, and even fixing chips. However, if you’re not filled in regarding how bonding actually works, you might feel like you’re missing a major piece of the puzzle. Not to worry! Information is on its way!
We Match The Composite
First of all, we use something we call composite for dental bonding. If you’ve ever heard of a tooth-colored filling, then you are already a bit familiar (it’s the same material). The beauty of composite is that we can change the color, so it’s just what you need (whether that means matching current tissue or whitening it).
We Apply It
We’ll then place the composite where it needs to go! We apply layers to your tooth, which might mean using it sort of like a paint if we are covering problems like stains or using it to sculpt if we are repairing esthetic damage.
We Cure And Polish The Final Result!
Now, we have either fixed a chip, made teeth appear wider or longer, covered up blemishes, fixed texture issues, or improved an oddly shaped tooth, and you’re almost done. To complete the dental bonding, we will dry and harden the material then shine it up. That’s all it takes to make little improvements with impressive results.
