What Smile Flaws Can Be Corrected with Bonding?
If your teeth are structurally sound but lack aesthetic appeal due to stains, chips, or small gaps between your teeth, dental bonding could be just what you need. Bonding corrects minor tooth flaws while still maintaining your tooth’s structural integrity. JSP Dental is the place to go for cosmetic dental bonding near me in Trenton and Wyandotte, Michigan.
Here are some questions we’re often asked about this treatment:
What is cosmetic teeth bonding?
Bonding is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that can instantly improve your smile’s appearance. It entails the use of tooth-colored resin material to mask imperfections in your smile that you find displeasing. The resin mixture is matched to the color of your teeth and molded to their shape to appear natural and pleasing. We’ll then harden the resin material in place with a special light to complete your smile’s new look!
How can bonding be used?
Cosmetic dental bonding can be used to:
- Repair chips and cracks in your teeth.
- Close small tooth gaps.
- Widen a narrow tooth.
- Lengthen a short tooth.
- Shore up a broken tooth.
- Conceal tooth discolorations.
- Reshape malformed teeth.
The same composite resin material can be used in dental fillings to treat cavities.
What are the benefits of cosmetic teeth bonding?
The bonding process is affordable, easy, and pain-free. Little, if any, structural alterations are made to your teeth before your treatment. It’s generally a same-day procedure that yields beautiful results instantly. Bonding treatments can be tailored to your unique dental needs to help you achieve your best smile.
How do I care for bonded teeth?
Bonded teeth can be brushed and flossed, just like the rest of your smile, using a soft-bristle brush and non-abrasive toothpaste to avoid scratching your teeth. As bonding isn’t as strong as dental crowns or veneers, you’ll need to watch what you eat. Avoid hard foods as they can chip or crack the resin material. Bonding also stains, so be mindful of stain-causing foods and drinks. If you have a habit of chewing on ice, biting your nails, or using your teeth to open packages, you’ll need to stop. We’ll check on the state of your bonded teeth periodically through routine checkups and help keep them looking their best through regular dental cleanings.
How long does bonding last?
With good oral care, bonding can last 3-7 years without needing to be replaced or repaired.
