How Does Dental Bonding Work?
If you are asking "what can composite bonding fix," the answer is almost any minor aesthetic flaw that makes a tooth look "ugly" or damaged.
Cosmetic bonding in Arvada, CO is a cost-effective, noninvasive way for local patients to address common tooth imperfections in a single visit. It is a long-lasting but temporary solution, and you can retreat anytime.
Dental bonding is composite resin, the same tooth-colored material used to treat tooth decay.
During the bonding process, our Arvada dentists apply the resin and then skillfully sculpt, fill, and conceal flaws to ensure the material blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. After the flaws are hidden, the dentist uses a special light to set the composite material.
Like natural or untreated teeth, composite is at risk for staining. You can avoid tooth-staining foods like wine and bright sauces or brush, floss, and rinse after consuming.
What Problems Can Dental Bonding Conceal?
Dental bonding can conceal the following issues:
- Chips and breaks
- Cracks and imperfections
- Minor spacing issues
- Stains and discoloration
Your dentist may also recommend bonding to guard against tooth sensitivity when roots are too exposed.
You should continue seeing your dentist every six months for comprehensive dental checkups and teeth cleanings. And always call us if you have questions about your cosmetic treatment.
