One of the treatments our dentist may recommend to improve your smile is dental bonding. This simple cosmetic treatment can enhance the appearance of your teeth in a single visit to Rockland Pediatric Dental and Orthodontics so you can leave our office with a renewed and confident smile.
What Is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding is one of the fastest and most conservative cosmetic treatment options available. It involves placing a tooth-colored composite resin material on your teeth, where it can then be shaped to the contours of your teeth to improve their appearance. Dental bonding is typically recommended to:
- Close gaps and spaces between the teeth
- Improve misshapen teeth
- Lighten stained and discolored teeth
- Restore chipped or cracked teeth
What Happens During Dental Bonding?
First, our dentist will select a shade of composite resin that matches the original color of your teeth to produce the most natural-looking effect. If desired, we can also choose a lighter shade to provide a whitening effect. Then, our dentist will apply the resin material directly onto your teeth, where it will be shaped and sculpted to fit the tooth and correct imperfections in its appearance. We then harden, trim and polish the resin and the treated teeth to provide a beautiful and lasting final result for your smile.
Dental bonding requires little or no tooth preparation, making it minimally invasive and comfortable. While anesthetic is not typically needed for this treatment, it is available should you want it.
