If your teeth aren't as attractive as you would like, it is not unusual to not feel confident in your smile. Stained teeth might stop you from smiling as often as you would like or with less enthusiasm as you would enjoy. Chipped teeth and gapped teeth can have a similar effect on your confidence. But dental bonding can allow you to smile again with confidence.
Dental bonding is one of the easiest, painless and cost-effective ways to make cosmetic improvements to your teeth.
With dental bonding, a tooth-colored resin, or plastic, is bonded to your tooth with an ultraviolet "curing" light. Unlike veneers and crowns, which are sometimes used to make similar improvements, a bonding procedure usually takes just 30-60 minutes per tooth and is often complete in just one visit to the dentist. Another advantage of dental bonding: It requires less prep work than veneers or crowns, so more of your tooth enamel remains intact.
Bonding can even be used to replace existing silver fillings with natural-looking composites. It’s also ideal for treating cavities in the front teeth, where aesthetics are especially important.
Dental bonding isn’t perfect for every tooth defect. Bonding doesn’t work well on back teeth or larger cavities. But for the smaller changes, bonding can have a huge impact on the way you feel about your smile.
