What is Cosmetic Bonding?
Cosmetic bonding is a versatile dental procedure used to improve the appearance of your teeth and smile. It involves the application of a tooth-colored composite resin to repair a variety of dental imperfections. Cosmetic bonding can effectively address issues such as:
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Discolored or stained teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Misshapen or uneven teeth
- Exposed tooth roots
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.
