When you have issues with the appearance of your smile, we could help with cosmetic dentistry. In fact, with dental bonding, we can use composite resin to correct multiple imperfections all at once. Dr. McDavid and our oral health experts in Lancaster, OH, offer bonding to help transform smiles in just one sitting!
The Dental Bonding Process
The dental bonding procedure uses the same composite resin that we employ as part of our lifelike dental fillings. The material is a metal-free blend of glass-like and acrylic particles, which we can shade to blend with your smile. The material is also biocompatible and bonds with the tooth, offering years of restoration. The procedure begins with our team numbing your tooth so you are comfortable as we remove any decay and etch the outer surface. We then apply the composite resin material in several layers, color-matching it to ensure a lifelike appearance. The tooth is then sculpted and molded as the composite resin cures beneath a special light. The last step is to polish the tooth for a more lifelike appearance.
Transforming Your Smile
In only one visit, our team will employ bonding to help mask permanent teeth stains, the kind that don’t respond to traditional teeth whitening procedures. We can repair minor chips and cracks and also add length to teeth worn down by bruxism (teeth grinding). The procedure can also close gaps and black triangle spaces between your teeth and even reshape malformed teeth. For many, this could help makeover the smile in only one visit!
Dental Fillings
As we mentioned above, the same material can be used to treat a cavity. If you have a toothache, we can see if you have a cavity. If so, we can numb the tooth and remove the decay before we apply the composite resin to the area. This also takes one visit and helps offer a comfortable smile and lifelike results. Whether you have pain in your tooth or cosmetic imperfections you wish to see corrected, we can help in one appointment with composite resin.
If you have any questions or if you want to undergo treatment before your next big event or gathering, then contact our team. We can help you enjoy a more attractive smile and also enjoy better oral health, as treatment could help you avoid complications with decay and infection down the road.
