What is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding is a cosmetic dentistry procedure that involves applying a tooth-colored resin material to the surface of your teeth. This versatile treatment can address several dental issues, including chipped or cracked teeth, discoloration, gaps between teeth, misshapen teeth, and exposed tooth roots due to gum recession.
The bonding material is carefully matched to the color of your natural teeth, creating a seamless and natural-looking result. Dr. Michael Hoagburg at Swiss Smiles & Implants in Englewood, CO, uses high-quality, durable materials to provide long-lasting results.
How can Dental Bonding Improve My Smile?
Dental bonding can significantly enhance your smile in several ways. It can close small gaps between teeth, creating a more uniform appearance. For those with minor chips or cracks, bonding effectively repairs these issues, restoring the appearance of teeth and protecting them from further damage.
If you have teeth that are resistant to traditional whitening methods, dental bonding can cover stubborn stains and discoloration. It’s also an excellent option for reshaping misshapen or uneven teeth, helping create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile.
In cases of gum recession, bonding can cover exposed tooth roots, reducing sensitivity and improving the appearance of your gum line. By addressing these cosmetic concerns, dental bonding can help you feel more confident about your smile and overall appearance.
At Swiss Smiles & Implants in Englewood, CO, Dr.Hoagburg works closely with each patient to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses their unique concerns and goals.
Dental Bonding Process
The dental bonding process at Swiss Smiles & Implants is typically completed in a single visit, making it a convenient option for busy patients in Englewood, CO. Here’s what you can expect during your appointment with Dr. Michael Hoagburg:
First, little to no preparation is required for dental bonding. In most cases, anesthesia is not necessary unless the bonding fills a decayed tooth. Dr. Hoagburg will carefully select a shade of resin that matches your natural tooth color, creating a seamless blend.
The tooth surface is then lightly etched and coated with a conditioning liquid to help the bonding material adhere properly. Dr. Hoagburg applies the tooth-colored resin to the prepared surface and molds it into the desired shape. A special light hardens the resin, bonding it securely to your tooth.
Once the material has hardened, Dr. Hoagburg will trim, shape, and polish the bonded area to match the rest of your tooth’s surface. The entire process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes per tooth, depending on the extent of the treatment required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does dental bonding damage my natural teeth?
No, dental bonding is a minimally invasive procedure that doesn’t damage your natural teeth. Your dentist applies the bonding material directly to your tooth surface without removing any significant amount of enamel.
How long does the dental bonding procedure take?
The dental bonding process is relatively quick. Your dentist can typically complete the procedure for one tooth in about 30 to 60 minutes. Multiple teeth can often be treated in a single visit.
Can I eat normally after dental bonding?
While you can eat normally soon after the procedure, our dentist recommends avoiding hard or sticky foods for the first 24-48 hours. This allows the bonding material to fully set and bond with your tooth.
How do I care for my bonded teeth?
Caring for bonded teeth is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Our dentist recommends brushing twice daily, flossing regularly, and avoiding habits like biting on hard objects or using your teeth as tools. Regular check-ups will help maintain your bonded teeth and overall oral health.
