What Is Cosmetic Bonding?
Cosmetic bonding involves our dentist applying tooth-colored composite resin in layers to a defect such as a crack, chip, stain, or gap, shaping it to match the natural curves of your smile, and curing the material with a specialized ultraviolet light. This painless process results in a natural-looking restoration that can last for three years or more if it receives excellent care. The treatment can be completed in minutes during a routine dental appointment and requires no recovery time, so you can expect to be able to drive yourself back to your home, work, or school after your procedure. You’ll also be able to resume using the treated teeth normally the day of the procedure.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Cosmetic Bonding?
Cosmetic bonding is painless without anesthesia and completely noninvasive, so it can be a safe aesthetic solution for mild dental chips, gaps, cracks, and stains for virtually everyone. However, you will need to be free from tooth decay and gum disease before you can receive the treatment, but we’ll be happy to address these issues with appropriate restorative treatments if necessary for you to become a great candidate later. The best way to understand if cosmetic bonding can be a suitable treatment for you is to schedule a consultation at our Wayne office.
