Improving the smile’s appearance using fast and easy dental bonding
Cosmetic and restorative dentistry offers patients solutions to common imperfections and damage that can occur to the smile over time. At Wahlen Dentistry, Dr. Jennifer Wahlen and the team in Perry, Utah, educate patients on how they can address problems such as stained, broken, or gapped teeth. A popular choice for many of our patients is dental bonding. Dental bonding allows patients to fix common teeth imperfections near the front of the smile with a same-day treatment solution.
How does dental bonding work?
Dental bonding uses a composite resin customized in color to match a patient’s existing tooth enamel. This matching ensures that once the bonding material is in place and cured, it looks just like the patient’s natural tooth structure. Dental bonding is applied to the prepared tooth and then shaped into place before curing with a specialized light. Once hardened, Dr. Jennifer Wahlen files down the resin material and polishes it for a finished appearance. Many patients use dental bonding for gaps, breakage, or coverage of permanently stained teeth. Bonding makes it easy to address numerous imperfections of the smile affordably.
What are the benefits of composite bonding?
Using composite resin material for dental bonding has several advantages for our patients:
- A relatively painless and non-invasive procedure
- Requires minimal removal of enamel, preserving the natural tooth structure
- Can be completed in one visit to Wahlen Dentistry
