If you are looking for a way to improve the appearance of your teeth, you might consider dental bonding to enhance your smile. Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure where chipped teeth are repaired and issues with spacing are corrected. If, for example, you dislike the presence of a gap between your teeth, you may decide to close the gap through dental bonding. This is a great way to quickly resolve a problem that is generally solved through orthopedic procedures.
While many people have a desire to fix their teeth, it can be an expensive process that may not be realistic for all patients. However, a major benefit of dental bonding is that it is a more affordable option than veneers that will still provides an improved look for your teeth. If you believe you are a good candidate for dental bonding call Southern Family Dental Care to schedule your consultation.
Benefits of Dental Bonding
Dental bonding, which is performed utilizing soft composite resin, is a means to correct stained teeth, gapped, fractured teeth, and abnormalities. A convenience of dental bonding is that the resin, much like those used during filling procedures, can be made to match the color of the teeth. Bonding is a quick process in comparison to getting veneers or crowns, which is ideal for individuals who may be on a tight schedule.
Dental bonding goes atop your tooth’s enamel, attached by a gel. In order to ensure the bonding takes to the tooth, a conditioning treatment is applied at the end of the procedure. The procedure is not at all painful and you will not have to receive local anesthesia in order to sit through it.
As previously mentioned, this is an affordable option for people who wish to positively augment their teeth without the added costs. It is not an invasive operation and there is no need to further blight your natural teeth in order to improve upon their look.
Caring for Teeth After the Dental Bonding Procedure
Caring for your teeth after dental bonding will not vary much from your normal oral hygiene routine. While your teeth will have an improved look, it is still important to combat tooth decay and gum disease through preventative measures like brushing twice daily and flossing once per day. Dental bonding tends to stain easily, so it is in your best interest to be mindful of consuming food that is known for staining teeth and discontinue the use of tobacco products. Use of foods like candy, tea, and coffee are examples of items that should be limited to maintain the bonding. The material used for dental bonding is delicate. Therefore, you should avoid chewing anything hard that may chip or crack the composite.
