About Dental Bonding
Cosmetic bonding is best suited for minor aesthetic issues that don’t require crowns or veneers, but still detract from the overall appearance of your smile.
Bonding is similar to the white composite used in dental fillings. This procedure offers an affordable way to restore your smile without having to deal with anesthesia or multiple office visits. Bonding is mostly a cosmetic procedure, but it can also be used to treat damage or reduce pain in certain circumstances.
Patients rely on our Jericho dental bonding treatments for problems like:
Your Dental Bonding Visit
Luckily, applying dental bonding is a relatively fast and comfortable experience. More often than not, our cosmetic dentist doesn’t even need to numb the tooth because it’s such a minimally-invasive process.
Most procedures start by buffing the outer layer of enamel of the affected tooth to make it easier for the bonding to adhere properly. Don’t worry – you should only feel slight pressure.
Next, Dr. Bral will use a shade guide to ensure that the color of the composite blends in with the rest of your teeth. At this point, we will shape the bonding and ensure that it perfectly follows the contour of the tooth. From there, Dr. Bral will cure the composite with a special light, hardening it in place. Your tooth will immediately look whole and healthy.
Caring for Your Bonded Tooth
Cleaning and maintaining an area of dental bonding does not require anything special. You only need to brush and floss your teeth regularly to keep the bonding free of bacteria and debris.
That said, cosmetic bonding can wear down and may need to be updated from time to time. This is especially true if the bonding is on the edge of a tooth and undergoes pressure from biting or chewing. Depending on your circumstance, Dr. Bral may recommend wearing a night guard to protect your teeth from excessive wear due to clenching and grinding.
