What Is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding is a versatile cosmetic dental procedure that can address mild cracks, chips, stains, and gaps. This noninvasive process involves Dr. Johnson applying a small amount of tooth-colored composite resin to the targeted defect before shaping and smoothing this putty-like substance until it is flush with the natural curves of your tooth. He will then use a specialized UV light to cure the resin, resulting in a restoration that can last for several years with excellent care. This treatment can be used to address many dental defects in a single treatment and normally requires no anesthesia or alteration of existing dental structure.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Bonding?
Since dental bonding is noninvasive and painless without anesthesia, virtually everyone with mild dental defects like chips, gaps, stains, and cracks can be a fantastic candidate for it. However, you’ll have to be free from oral infections like cavities and gum disease before the treatment can be performed safely. If you need to have any of these issues cleared up before receiving dental bonding, we’ll be happy to address them with restorative treatments like fillings, gum disease therapy, or root canals at our Houston office. The best way to find out if dental bonding can be an excellent way to achieve a prettier smile is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Johnson, so feel free to contact our office today.
