Cosmetic Dentistry -Repair Chipped Teeth With Dental Bonding

Cosmetic dentistry can make a huge difference in your personal appearance.  Cosmetic procedures can make you look years younger, restore your confidence and give you the freedom to smile again! 

Even healthy teeth can benefit from certain cosmetic dental treatments like teeth whitening and veneers, but one cosmetic dental treatment that is often overlooked is dental bonding.  A chipped or misshapen tooth might be the only thing standing between you and your best smile ever.  When the repair is cosmetic in nature, sometimes the best option is dental bonding. 

How Dental Bonding Is Done

Bonding involves the reshaping of a tooth using a strong, durable tooth colored material.  There is only minimal tooth preparation required, and the procedure is painless.  When there is no other disease or damage to a misshapen tooth, bonding is a safe, economical and beautiful dental enhancement that can make a huge difference in your appearance.  The tooth is prepared with a material which makes the bonding material adhere permanently.  Your dentist is then able to apply the bonding material directly to the tooth’s surface, shaping and contouring it to the desired result.  Once the restoration is given a good polish and shine, your redesigned tooth will look beautiful and natural, matching the shade of the surrounding teeth. 

 

Why Choose Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is a great option for patients with only slight cosmetic defects, a single chipped tooth or a slightly misshapen tooth.  The application of bonding material can close small gaps, reshape a peg-shaped tooth and open up your smile.  In order to use bonding as a cosmetic dental solution, the tooth must be free of disease like decay.  Dental bonding is a good option if the tooth is otherwise intact, strong and stable.  

For teeth which are damaged, decayed or fractured, other treatments such as dental crowns or veneers may be the best solution.  For the cosmetic enhancement of multiple teeth, cosmetic dental veneers might also be the best option.
