You\u2019d probably prefer an affordable solution if you\u2019re dealing with smile flaws<\/a>. Luckily, most dentists offer cosmetic bonding. This procedure can solve many dental imperfections in just one appointment! For that reason, patients and practices alike consider it an excellent cosmetic dental treatment. For those still feeling unsure of it, though, your Fort Worth dentist is here to help. Read on to learn more about cosmetic bonding and the problems it can solve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What is Cosmetic Bonding?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fundamentally, cosmetic bonding is a dental procedure that hides your teeth\u2019s problem areas. It does so by applying composite resin to your pearly white(s), which then covers the issue(s) from view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bonding process takes about an hour per tooth and consists of two steps. First, the dentist will put the tooth-colored resin on your tooth and sculpt it to match the rest of your smile. From there, they\u2019ll harden the material using a special light. With this last action, the dentist ensures that the resin stays in place and won\u2019t wash off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Can Cosmetic Bonding Fix?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The composite material used in cosmetic bonding is highly versatile. It can thus fix several smile flaws, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smile Gaps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As it turns out, the resin in dental cosmetic bonding can close small spaces between teeth. The stuff can even match the color and texture of its surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chips & Fractures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Teeth that have been chipped or fractured can look unpleasant at times. Thankfully, dental bonding can cover this damage and make your tooth look nice and smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep in mind that only smaller chips can be corrected with cosmetic bonding. You may want to consider veneers or dental crowns if you have larger ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tooth Decay<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dental bonding can even address decayed teeth. Its composite resin directly bonds to the tooth, providing the area with strength and durability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exposed Tooth Roots<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If and when you overbrush, you might expose your tooth root to extra sensitivity. However, your dentist can use cosmetic bonding to fill the space left by receded gums and protect your root from further damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, cosmetic bonding is truly cost-effective. With only a moderate cost, it can relieve dental issues like those above and more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
