Amanda: Some patients are looking for a quick smile improvement, and we can do that with tooth bonding. Bonding can involve several teeth or just a few teeth, but you can change the shape, the color, the length of a tooth in a same-day, non-invasive procedure. You actually don’t have to remove any tooth in most cases, so you just add on and do a little reshaping, and you get an instant improvement in your smile.
Experience a Comfortable Tooth Bonding Procedure
If you would like to fix several cosmetic issues at once, cosmetic bonding may be right for you. Dr. Juarez and Dr. Arnold use this treatment to conceal several types of smile flaws, including chips, cracks, stains, and small gaps. If your teeth are only slightly crooked and do not require full orthodontic treatment, tooth bonding can even be used as a form of “instant orthodontics”!
While dental bonding and porcelain dental veneers can fix similar cosmetic problems, cosmetic bonding does not last as long as veneers and is less resistant to stains. During a quick consultation, we can help you determine which option is best for you.
Cosmetic dental bonding is a noninvasive, reversible cosmetic procedure. Depending on how many teeth you want to be treated, the single-appointment process usually takes less than an hour. In most cases, no anesthetic is even required.
During your procedure, your dentist will:
- Etch the surface of your tooth or teeth to help the restorative material adhere
- Apply the tooth-colored resin, which we will color-match just for you
- Carefully mold and smooth the resin
- Harden the bonding material with a special light
- Make final adjustments
