The dental bonding procedure offered by our Pennington dental specialists is frequently used to correct the appearance of a chipped or discolored tooth. It can be also used to close gaps between teeth, to make teeth look longer or to alter the color or shape of teeth. Often times, composite bonding is used as a cosmetic alternative to amalgam fillings or to protect a tooth’s root that has been exposed.
The process of dental bonding can be used to fix the following dental problems:
• To fix decayed teeth (can be used to fill cavities)
• To repair chipped or cracked teeth
• To correct the appearance of discolored teeth
• To close gaps between teeth
• To make teeth look longer
• To alter the shape of teeth
• As a cosmetic alternative to amalgam fillings
• To protect a tooth’s root that has been exposed
The dental bonding procedure requires almost no preparation. The use of anesthesia is usually not required unless the bonding is being used to fill a decayed tooth. Your Pennington dentist will closely match the color of the composite resin to your existing teeth as to negate any noticable difference.
Dental bonding is ideal for patients looking to correct minor cosmetic imperfections without the need for extensive dental work. If you have chips, cracks, discoloration, gaps, or slightly misshapen teeth, dental bonding can be an effective solution. It’s also a great option for those who want a fast and affordable way to enhance their smile compared to alternatives like veneers or crowns.
Patients choose dental bonding for its many advantages, including:
Quick and convenient: Most bonding procedures can be completed in a single visit to our Pennington office.
Minimally invasive: Little to no tooth enamel needs to be removed.
Cost-effective: Dental bonding is often more affordable than other cosmetic procedures.
Natural results: The composite resin is custom-matched to your teeth for a seamless look.
With proper care, dental bonding can last several years. To maintain your results, practice good oral hygiene, avoid biting hard objects, and schedule regular checkups at our Pennington, NJ dental office. If you notice any damage or discoloration to your bonded teeth, our dentists can easily make repairs.
A consultation with your dentist will determine how dental bonding can help you. Your dentist will conduct an examination of your teeth that may involve an evaluation of your teeth and gums, and x-rays. During your consultation, your dentist will discuss if you are being affected by the cosmetic problems that bonding can resolve. If you have teeth that are severely damaged, your dentist may recommend different restorative or cosmetic procedures.
