Are your teeth looking a little worse for wear but you aren’t crazy about the prospect of complicated, expensive and potentially uncomfortable dental procedures? Cosmetic bonding may be a way for you to spruce up your smile. Smile Dental Group, your East Lancaster, CA dental office, explains how this relatively inexpensive and increasingly popular cosmetic dentistry procedure can help you have the smile you want.
Cosmetic dental bonding erases damage and defects in your teeth by adding to your teeth rather than removing or altering them permanently. Smile Dental Group uses composite resin, a soft, plastic-based material, to fill in the damaged areas of your smile. Composite resin could be thought of as the dental equivalent of the spackle often used in home repairs. Smile Dental Group can shape this resin to fill in any chips or indentations, making it a simple yet versatile way of resolving an assortment of cosmetic dental issues.
Once the resin hardens or bonds to your enamel — hence the name of the procedure — it will not only be as strong as your natural tooth enamel but will be virtually indistinguishable from it as well. Your Smile Dental Group dentist will choose a composite resin that is matched to the color and shade of your tooth enamel so that the bonded area is never obvious.
Even small chips in teeth can stand out when you talk and eat but cosmetic bonding can remedy these issues. Dental bonding can even be used to cover the exposed roots of patients suffering from receding gums from periodontitis. This added protection helps reduce tooth sensitivity to hot and cold that can occur when the roots are exposed.
Maybe you have one tooth that looks out of place? Sometimes a tooth can be discolored, twisted, crooked, short or oddly shaped teeth but still in good working order. Bonding material can give the oddball tooth a facelift, giving your smile a more uniform look.
Cosmetic bonding is also a viable option for eliminating small gaps between your teeth. Larger than normal gaps between your teeth can not only make you self-conscious about smiling but also trap food, making your teeth more prone to decay. Cosmetic dental bonding is a simple and relatively inexpensive method of getting rid of those unsightly gaps!
Cosmetic dental bonding can refresh your smile and make you proud to show it off again! Call your dental provider in East Lancaster, CA, Smile Dental Group at (661) 302-4416 or schedule online for your consultation to discuss this versatile cosmetic dentistry treatment today.
