What Can Dental Bonding Do for My Smile?
Dental bonding is a simple, straightforward procedure. It is non-invasive, and doesn’t require shots, needles, or drills. In dental bonding, a composite resin is placed on the tooth. Dr. Fuhrmann then sculpts the resin--which starts out soft--to match your tooth (or teeth), working through and filling imperfections.
Once the resin is sculpted to the right shape, a special light hardens it. We trim and polish the resin to blend in with the rest of your smile.
The resin is available in a range of shades, allowing us to match your teeth to the resin. We can also use a slightly brighter shade which will give you a brighter smile.
Will Dental Bonding Work for Me?
Dental bonding may be the best route for people hesitant to seek more involved treatments--either because they’re invasive or expensive. The teeth need little preparation, and no shots or drills are necessary.
Dental bonding is a flexible, adaptable procedure which can be used to correct a number of cosmetic flaws, including:
- Exposed roots
- Gaps between teeth
- Chips or cracks in teeth
- Misshapen or worn-down teeth
- Spotted or stained teeth
