Dental bonding is a versatile and cost-effective dental procedure offered at Water Valley Dental by Dr. Daniel Banks and Dr. Jacob Dunham. It involves the application of a tooth-colored resin material to the teeth, which is then hardened with a special light. This effectively "bonds" the material to the tooth, thereby improving the overall appearance of your smile. Dental bonding is an excellent option for patients looking to repair decayed, chipped, fractured, or discolored teeth. It's also a great solution for those looking to close gaps between teeth or change the shape of a tooth altogether.
Dental bonding is one of the least expensive cosmetic dentistry procedures.
The first step of the dental bonding process is preparation. This involves a thorough examination of your teeth by either Dr. Banks or Dr. Dunham to determine if dental bonding is the right treatment for you. They will discuss your dental health history, your current dental health, and your cosmetic goals. If dental bonding is deemed suitable, your Windsor dentist will then select a composite resin color that closely matches the color of your natural teeth.
Once the preparation is complete, the bonding process begins. Your dentist will slightly etch the surface of the tooth to roughen it, then apply a conditioning liquid. This helps the bonding material adhere to the tooth. Next, the tooth-colored, putty-like resin is applied, molded, and smoothed to the desired shape. A special light or laser is then used to harden the material. Once the material is hard, your dentist will further trim and shape it, then polish it to match the sheen of the rest of the tooth surface.
After the bonding process is complete, your dentist will provide you with aftercare instructions. It's important to avoid chewing on hard food or biting your nails to prevent the bonding material from chipping. Regular check-ups and cleanings at Water Valley Dental are also essential to maintain the health and appearance of your bonded teeth.
Dental bonding doesn't require any removal of enamel. It preserves the natural tooth structure.
Dental bonding is a quick and painless procedure that can often be done in a single visit to Water Valley Dental. There's no need for anesthesia unless bonding is being used to fill a decayed tooth. This makes it a convenient option for busy individuals in Windsor.
Dental bonding can significantly improve the appearance of your teeth. It can be used to change the shape of a tooth, make it look longer, or improve its color. It can also be used to close gaps between teeth, giving you a more even and attractive smile.
With proper care, dental bonding can last several years. It's a cost-effective solution for cosmetic dental issues, providing long-lasting results that improve not just your smile, but also your overall dental health.
