What is Cosmetic Bonding?
Cosmetic bonding is a versatile and efficient procedure designed to address a variety of dental imperfections while keeping your natural tooth structure intact. Using a tooth-colored composite resin, we can repair chipped or cracked teeth, correct discoloration, close gaps, or reshape uneven teeth—all in a single visit. At Encinitas Dental Art, we take pride in our ability to deliver subtle, natural-looking results tailored to your unique needs and aesthetic goals.
How Cosmetic Bonding Works
The process of cosmetic bonding at Encinitas Dental Art is straightforward and usually completed in one visit, making it a convenient option for those with a busy lifestyle. Here’s what you can expect during the procedure:
- Shade Selection: We start by selecting a resin shade that closely matches the color of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless blend.
- Tooth Preparation: The tooth’s surface is lightly etched to improve the bonding material’s adhesion. A bonding agent is then applied.
- Resin Application: The composite resin is meticulously applied, molded, and sculpted to achieve the desired shape and appearance.
- Hardening: An ultraviolet light or laser is used to harden the resin quickly.
- Polishing: The final step involves trimming and polishing the bonded area to ensure a smooth, natural look.
