Is your smile marred by flaws like chipped, stained or worn down teeth? Do you yearn for a smile that will boost your self-esteem? Ask Dr. Matt Pierce or Dr. Jim Heck about dental bonding in Greenwood, Indiana. Our dentists will apply a tooth-colored material to one or more teeth and then harden it with a special light. This is done to restore the beauty of your smile. Our dentists may recommend dental bonding to:
- Repair decayed teeth
- Repair teeth that are chipped, cracked or broken
- Improve the color of discolored teeth
- Close gaps and spaces between teeth
- Improve the length of teeth
- Improve the shape of teeth
- Protect exposed tooth roots
Dental bonding has many advantages. Bonding is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to enhance or restore your smile. Dental bonding can be performed in just one dental appointment unless several teeth are being treated. Less tooth enamel is removed with dental bonding than with dental veneers or dental crowns. Because your tooth structure is saved, your long-term oral health is improved. Anesthesia is usually not required when dental bonding is performed unless our dentists will use the material to fill a cavity.
Dental bonding is a simple, conservative way to improve the appearance of your smile. During the bonding process, our skilled dentists and team place a composite resin material directly onto the tooth structure. Because the resin is malleable and puttylike when first applied, we can shape and sculpt it to fit your tooth and correct flaws in the tooth’s appearance. The composite resin is then hardened, trimmed and polished to provide a lasting, aesthetic restoration for your smile. Dental bonding typically requires just one visit to our welcoming dental office, and because this treatment usually necessitates little to no tooth preparation, you can rest assured that your visit will be quick and comfortable.
Our dentists may recommend dental bonding in order to close gaps and spaces between teeth, improve misshapen teeth, lighten stained or discolored teeth, or restore chipped or cracked teeth. We will use a shade of composite resin that matches the original color of your teeth for a natural-looking effect. If you would prefer, we can use a slightly lighter shade to whiten the color of your teeth.
