When you have multiple cosmetic imperfections with the shape and color of your teeth, we could use a unique treatment to address many of them in one visit. With dental bonding, we employ composite resin to offer amazing results in one sitting. With our team of dental implant experts in Charleston, SC, we can use bonding to boost your smile’s beauty!
The Cosmetic Capabilities of Dental Bonding
Dental bonding can be used to mask permanent teeth stains, covering the discoloration that could otherwise resist teeth whitening. The same procedure can repair minor chips and cracks, and lengthen structure worn down by bruxism (teeth grinding). We could also correct misshapen teeth and even close gaps and embarrassing black triangle spaces between your teeth. Since we use the same material for filings, we can also address tooth decay that occurs in your smile too. For some, this could offer a smile makeover in only one visit!
The Benefits of Composite Resin
Since we use a metal-free material, the procedure is safe for patients of all ages, from kids to adults. The composite resin blends a glass-like and acrylic-like material, offering durability and the ability to be color matched and blend with your tooth and smile as a whole. The repair can handle daily bite forces and stay in place for years to come. Placement only takes one visit, so you do not have to miss multiple days of work or school either.
Repairing Your Teeth and Treating Cavities
The placement process begins with our team numbing your tooth, so you are comfortable as we remove any decay and thoroughly clean the tooth. We then etch the outer surface, which helps the composite resin stay in place as we sculpt the tooth. We prepare the material and shade it to blend with your smile, and then apply it in several layers. As we cure the layers under a special light, we will shape and sculpt the tooth. We want it to not only improve the beauty of your teeth, but provide a properly balanced bite too. Once we complete this step, we then polish the tooth for a brighter appearance. In a single sitting, we can take on multiple cosmetic issues!
