You may feel that taking care of your teeth is a hard job, especially if you don’t like how your smile looks. And you wouldn’t be alone. Daily oral health maintenance when your smile has gaps, misalignments, or chipped teeth can sometimes feel difficult.
Fortunately, dental bonding is an affordable treatment that can give you a full smile makeover. It can give you the smile you’ve always wanted.
At Downtown Dental Studio, we understand that smile aesthetics are important too. Fadi Beydoun, DMD, MS, Alexander Kimon, DMD, and Karina Zaygermakher, DMD, want you to feel the best you can about your smile so that you’re motivated to continue taking care of your oral health as you age.
Dental bonding is a versatile treatment that can help make your teeth and smile look the way you want them to. For example, some people have chipped teeth that make them self-conscious or gaps between each of their teeth that cause them to avoid making a big, toothy grin. In addition, misalignment can make one tooth stick out where it shouldn’t.
All of these issues can make you feel uncomfortable about your teeth. Aesthetics are important not only because they affect your self-confidence but also because a smile you’re proud of is often a smile you’ll put more effort into caring for.
Dental bonding is a simple process that usually takes 30 minutes to an hour per tooth. It starts with your provider matching your natural tooth color to a chart. Then, the surface of your tooth is roughened a bit, and a liquid is applied to the tooth to make adherence easier.
Next, the properly colored dental resin is applied to the tooth and hardened with a special laser. Once the resin has hardened, your provider shapes it so that it looks like your natural tooth. Finally, the resin is polished, and you can admire your brilliant new smile!
The process is quick and easy, and results often last as long as ten years. This is, of course, as long as you continue caring for your teeth and performing the necessary oral care routines at home.
Not every smile issue can be treated with dental bonding, but many can be. The procedure is often best for those looking for an alternative to braces, who have relatively healthy and white teeth, and who know they’ll be able to care for the results. If you’re responsible and take good care of your teeth after bonding, the results should last a long while.
Have you ever wished you could fix a small issue with your smile, such as a few gaps, a chipped tooth, or another aesthetic issue? If so, you might be a great candidate for this procedure. Still, we always recommend discussing your options with your provider to make the best, most informed choice.
With this quick, easy, and affordable procedure, you can make your smile look the way you want it to. If you’ve been looking for a way to get a smile without gaps, chips, or imperfections, consider dental bonding today.
