dental bonding

Dental bonding is a procedure in which a tooth-colored resin (a type of durable plastic) is applied to the tooth and hardened with a special light, which ultimately “bonds” the material to the tooth to restore or improve a person's smile. Bonding is done to repair a decayed, chipped, fractured, or discolored tooth.

Restore the look of your teeth quickly and easily.

How Does Cosmetic Dental Bonding Work?

dental bonding in Washington, DC

Dental bonding is a rather simple procedure. First, Dr. Shukoor will clean the area where he will apply the bonding resin. Then, he will choose a resin that matches your tooth color. Afterwards, he will attach and mold the resin to the shape of the tooth. The resin is applied layer by layer until the area has the desired look. Dr. Shukoor will then harden the resin using an ultraviolet light. Once the resin has hardened, the last step is to ensure that the tooth looks correct and polish the tooth.

What Is Dental Bonding Used For?

Dental bonding can be used for a variety of different purposes. It can be used to:

Fill in gaps between teeth

Repair cracked or chipped teeth

Improve the appearance of misshapen teeth

Make teeth look longer

Change the color of your teeth

Protect exposed tooth roots (in cases of gum recession)

Can Bonding Resin Be Stained?

Anyone interested in dental bonding should be aware that resin can stain and is most likely to do so within the first few hours after treatment. This is why it’s important that you avoid drinking liquids like coffee, tea, or red wine. You should also not smoke during this time. Taking these steps will help ensure that your tooth has the desired look and is not discolored.

Cosmetic Dental Bonding: An Affordable Option

We know that keeping your smile looking great is important to you. When discoloration, minor chips, or spacing occur, you should not have to deal with a difficult and expensive dental procedure. Cosmetic bonding is a relatively fast and more affordable way to help solve these small issues that will crop up from time to time without the cost of major procedures.
