Cosmetic Dental Bonding Fayetteville

Cosmetic dental bonding consists of the same material used for tooth-colored fillings. This composite resin, which is composed of fine ceramic particles mixed with plastic, starts out in a putty-like consistency. Using our artistic skills, we’ll select the right shade of white and sculpt the resin into the desired shape, and then we’ll shine a curing light, hardening the material. Finally, we’ll make final refinements until your covered or augmented tooth looks and feels perfect.

Dental bonding can be used to correct several aesthetic imperfections, including:

• Chips, cracks, or small gaps.
• Misshapen teeth.

To be considered for cosmetic dental bonding, you must be in good oral health generally, meaning you have no signs of tooth decay or gum disease. Also, the repairs or correction you need should be relatively minor. If you require more drastic changes, perhaps crowns or veneers would be a better choice for your smile.

When lined up next to veneers, bonding has multiple advantages that you’ll want to consider carefully. First, bonding tends to cost significantly less than veneers, which is helpful on your budget. As a more affordable option, bonding can give you a comparable result at a lower price. Just keep in mind that you may need to repeat treatment about every five to seven years.

Second, unless you have a complex case or many teeth being treated, bonding can typically be completed in just a single visit. In contrast, veneers require at least two appointments and several weeks. As a result, bonding is often preferred for those who have a tight deadline.

Third, while getting veneers involves permanent changes to your tooth enamel, cosmetic dental bonding doesn’t. This means that should, you decide to undo treatment for whatever reason, we can reverse it with no trouble.
