Bonding
A Simple and Affordable Solution to Dramatically Improve the Appearance of Your Teeth
What Is Bonding?
Known for its versatility and affordability, bonding is a practice which uses high quality composite resin to repair damaged teeth. Whether chipped, fractured, decayed, or discolored, the tooth colored resin can restore the affected tooth or teeth easily.
Benefits of Bonding
Repair teeth quickly in a single visit.
Restore your smile with undetectable tooth colored resin.
Protect the affected tooth from further exposure to disease and decay.
Renew proper function of your teeth.
Save time and money through a simple process.
Establish your comfort.
Thankfully, the bonding process rarely requires anesthesia or any sort of numbing. Even though the procedure is not pain-inducing, we will ensure you are relaxed about the process before we begin. All of your concerns and questions will be addressed clearly.
Match the color and prepare the tooth.
Bonding is a quick solution because no impressions sent to a lab are required. The resin already is prepared in a variety of shades to guarantee a seamless repair. Once we have determined the ideal shade, we will slightly texture the surface of your tooth and apply a conditioning liquid to optimize your tooth to bond properly.
Adhere and secure the resin.
The resin putty is carefully placed and shaped to blend with your natural smile. We will utilize an ultraviolet light to solidify the resin quickly.
Trim and polish.
When the resin is set, we will meticulously critique and adjust the repaired tooth until it looks natural. With polish, the repaired tooth will be revitalized to shine like the rest of your smile.
