The putty-like resin is shaped and molded to perfection over your teeth and then hardened with a special blue light. Within an hour, dental bonding has your smile looking restored and incredible. But how do you know if you\u2019re an eligible candidate for this effective treatment?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Benefits of Dental Bonding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental bonding has tons of different applications and many great benefits, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>It\u2019s an effective solution for minor tooth damage including chips, cracks, gaps between teeth, decayed teeth, and discoloration and staining.<\/li><li>It\u2019s relatively inexpensive and can typically be completed in one quick appointment with fast results.<\/li><li>Local anesthesia is usually not required.<\/li><li>The material used is bio-compatible and also perfectly matches your natural teeth.<\/li><li>It preserves most of your natural tooth and its functionality\u2014other methods can sometimes alter or diminish your teeth.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What To Expect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental bonding doesn\u2019t involve much initial preparation after your initial consultation. Your dentist will select a resin that matches your teeth and suits your smile and will begin by roughening the surface of the flawed tooth. This increases the surface area used in the bonding process and allows for more effective results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, a conditioning liquid is applied to assist the resin, and then finally the resin is molded and sculpted as needed. Afterwards, it\u2019s hardened with a blue light or laser and then trimmed and polished, so it blends in perfectly with the surrounding teeth. Once the process is complete (usually within 30 to 60 minutes), you can expect instant results\u2014just be sure to practice good oral hygiene so your smile stays pristine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this process seems very simple and straightforward, that\u2019s because it is! If you\u2019re curious about dental bonding, you should ask your dentist if it\u2019s a suitable solution for you. It\u2019s able to provide incredible results for those seeking a brighter and more-attractive smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Brad Weiss takes great pride in helping his patients transform their smiles, and he would be happy to help you too!
