Cosmetic bonding in Greensboro, NC, is the most familiar and popular method for repairing chipped teeth. If you’ve never considered cosmetic dentistry before, see why so many restore their smiles and repair chipped teeth with bonding.
Cosmetic Bonding Is Quick and Non-invasive
The greatest appeal of cosmetic bonding is that it is quick and non-invasive. Most patients can have a chipped tooth repaired in a single visit, which usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes per tooth. There is no need for return visits, unlike with crowns or veneers.
Cost-Effectiveness
Cosmetic bonding is budget-friendly compared to crowns or veneers, which have a higher price point. This is the more attractive option for minor repairs, when you only need one or a few chipped teeth repaired.
Minimal Tooth Structure Involvement
Bonding does not require any modification of your tooth structure or drilling, and can be done with no local anesthesia at all. Sometimes, minor shaping of your tooth is needed, but usually the process doesn’t require that.
The Cosmetic Bonding Process Explained
Cosmetic bonding is the perfect choice if you are looking to restore a chipped tooth to wholeness quickly. Our dentists can color-match the bonding resin to your natural tooth, making it the ideal choice for chips or even minor cracks. Here’s how it works, starting with a visit with one of our team members.
First, the dentist examines the tooth to determine if it’s suitable for bonding. Next, they prepare it by smoothing and shaping any rough edges to make room for the bonding material. Then, they apply the bonding resin and harden it with an ultraviolet light. After a few seconds, the resin hardens and becomes as strong as your natural tooth. The final step is to polish the area to blend any inconsistencies and restore your beautiful smile.
How to Get the Most Out of Your Cosmetic Bonding
Keeping your cosmetic bonding looking pristine comes down to good dental hygiene and practices. Help reduce plaque buildup in the bonded area with regular brushing and flossing. Be cautious with consuming tea, coffee, red wine, and smoking, as these can all cause staining of the material used for bonding.
