Dental Bonding Santa Cruz, CA
Those with one or more imperfections in their front teeth may benefit from dental bonding. Today's dental patients can benefit from the many recent dental advances that allow for both better functioning and better cosmetics. Dental bonding can fix teeth in one to three appointments so that patients can smile with renewed confidence.
What is dental bonding?
Dental bonding involves a painless procedure that uses a special tooth-colored material to fix a wide variety of imperfections in teeth, including those in the front teeth. An experienced dentist will carefully apply the bonding to areas of the tooth that need to be corrected, improving all aspects of the tooth's appearance. Once the dentist has placed the bonding on the tooth, they will use a special curing light to harden the bonding material, making it a permanent addition to the tooth.
The following is a list of some of the more common problems associated with the front teeth that dental bonding can help repair.
Discolored teeth
Professional teeth whitening methods cannot overcome some types of tooth discoloration. Intrinsic tooth stains are one example. These tooth stains often result from some type of damage, taking certain medications such as tetracycline, or using too much fluoride. Since these types of tooth discolorations usually do not respond to professional teeth whitening services, dental bonding can cover up the discolorations.
Uneven teeth
Dental bonding can help repair teeth that are uneven or misshaped. An experienced dentist will use the bonding material to make the teeth even and/or shape them into a more appealing form. Bonding can be a great option for those who feel their teeth are too small or too large.
Large gaps in between the teeth
Bonding can be applied to the insides of the teeth to make a large gap appear smaller. Fixing gaps between teeth is typically an individual decision, as fixing these gaps is often considered a purely cosmetic issue. However, it is important to understand that sometimes gaps can get in the way of one's ability to speak clearly, making the bonding process both functional as well as cosmetic.
Chipped teeth
Chips in the front teeth are more common than many people realize. These chips can make a person self-conscious when smiling. Dental bonding may repair these chips, making it difficult to tell if the tooth was even damaged in the first place.
