Dental Bonding Leesburg

What is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding is known by multiple names, including cosmetic and direct bonding. No matter what you call it, you’ll enjoy the same exceptional results. A composite resin material can be carefully molded and shaped to fix minor aesthetic flaws. It is also shaded to match the color of your enamel to blend in with your teeth, so no one will know it’s there. After it has been applied, it can last for a decade or longer with the right aftercare, like brushing twice daily and flossing nightly.

Who is a Candidate for Dental Bonding?

If you’re ready to invest in a picture-perfect smile, you might be a candidate for dental bonding. We’ll conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and learn more about your goals to determine if it’s the right solution for you. Generally, it can be used to correct:

• Exposed tooth roots
• Tooth decay
• Stains and discoloration
• Chips and cracks
• Shorter than average teeth
• Gaps between teeth

What is the Process Like?

You won’t need to worry about a lengthy treatment process when choosing dental bonding. After your initial consultation, you’ll be scheduled for your procedure. If you’re only treating 1 or 2 teeth, you can expect the process to take 30 to 60 minutes. Depending on the complexity of your treatment plan, we may recommend more than one visit.

We’ll begin by administering a local anesthetic to ensure you’re comfortable, but it isn’t always necessary. Your tooth will be cleaned before we apply a special material to open the pores in your enamel. We will then rinse and dry your tooth prior to applying the resin, which will have been previously customized to your color specification. Your dentist will carefully sculpt it into the ideal shape, and then use a special dental light to quickly harden it. Finally, your tooth will be smoothed and polished, so you can walk out of our office with a confident, beautiful smile.
