What Is Cosmetic Bonding?
Dental bonding is a noninvasive cosmetic dental procedure that is painless without anesthesia, and it can be used to address a wide range of dental flaws such as stains, gaps, chips, and cracks. The treatment begins with our dentist applying a small amount of tooth-colored composite resin to the targeted defect and shaping this putty-like substance until it matches the natural curves of the patient’s smile. Once the restoration is appropriately shaped, our dentist will harden it with a specialized UV light. The results of this treatment can last up to three years or possibly more if the patient practices excellent oral hygiene and protects their teeth from injury.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Cosmetic Bonding?
Since cosmetic bonding is noninvasive and typically requires no anesthesia, virtually everyone with mild cracks, chips, gaps, or stains in their teeth can be an excellent candidate for the treatment. While oral infections like cavities and gum disease will disqualify a patient from the procedure, these issues can usually be resolved with restorative treatments such as fillings, crowns, root canals, or periodontal therapy. However, the only way to know for certain if you can qualify for this procedure is to schedule a consultation at our Falmouth office. Dr. Hill or Myers will be happy to help you find the best way to achieve a beautiful smile you will be eager to show off.
