In the world of cosmetic dentistry, there are many ways that we can help you achieve your perfect smile here at Dental Care of Plano. One of the services we offer is composite bonding, a little-known treatment that offers big results.
What is Composite Bonding?
During this technique, a composite resin material is molded onto your tooth in any place where extra tooth material is desired. Then a special light is shone on the molded area until it hardens into a very strong surface that can withstand chewing and other activities.
Who Needs Composite Bonding?
Composite bonding is great for:
- Chipped teeth
- Gapped teeth
- Teeth that are unevenly sized
- Teeth or fillings that are stained
Generally, a person’s teeth need to be otherwise healthy for bonding to be considered. This treatment differs from something like porcelain veneers because it takes much less time, and is usually more affordable. Veneers may take two to three visits to the dentist, while bonding can be completed in a single visit. Come in with a gap in your smile that you’ve always disliked, and leave with a brand new look!
Composite Bonding Treatment and Aftercare
At the start of your appointment to have bonding applied, a very small amount of tooth enamel is usually removed from the site. Then the composite material is shaped and molded by your dentist at Dental Care of Plano. After curing under the light, we will polish your teeth so that you get a special reveal when you see your new smile for the first time. Aftercare is simple. Just keep up your regular oral health habits, and avoid munching very hard things like ice.
