Is Dental Bonding Cosmetically Appealing?

Dental bonding enables fast aesthetic improvement of teeth that are chipped, misshapen, stained or spaced improperly. Using dental bonding helps preserve a smile, as the bonding material can be finely tinted to match surrounding enamel. Here is more about the cosmetic uses of dental bonding and how the procedure works.

 

Uses of Dental Bonding

 

Bonding is an ideal treatment for returning the shape and natural appearance of damaged teeth after physical trauma or tooth decay has caused destruction. For teeth with heavy stains that do not respond to teeth whitening, bonding also represents a faster, more convenient alternative to veneers or crowns. Bonding can even be used instead of orthodontics for certain issues, such as gaps between teeth.

 

How Cosmetic Bonding Works

 

Bonding can be completed in a single appointment. After cleaning the tooth and etching it for better adherence, our expert in dental bonding in Northridge applies the tinted material while shaping it. Finally, our dentist cures the area with a light and polishes it to a pleasing finish.

 

More affordable than veneers and requiring no anesthesia, dental bonding gives patients a rapid option for beautifying their smile. A consultation with our Northridge cosmetic dentist can be scheduled to learn more about the aesthetic value of this treatment.
