If you have a tooth that has been broken, chipped, or has become discolored due to staining, that you want to look brand new again, you should consider dental cosmetic bonding. The team of professional dentists at K&E Advanced Dentistry in Franklin, OH, offers this affordable option to patients looking to repair minor dental issues.

Without being a strain to your budget, cosmetic bonding can positively transform your smile. Using a flexible tooth-colored composite, our doctors can restore the appearance of a tooth that has been chipped, stained, or has a large gap. The tooth-colored composite resin is applied to the tooth before the dentist sculpts, hardens, and bonds it to the tooth. It is a straightforward procedure that continues to gain popularity among patients.

The Answer to Many Dental Issues

Dental bonding has a unique distinction, along with dental veneers, of resolving many cosmetic dental issues. The fact that dental bonding is so affordable and effective is why the procedure is so popular among patients. Dental bonding can fix problems ranging from chipped teeth to those that are mildly cracked. Bonding is excellent in improving gaps in between teeth and correcting tooth asymmetry. The resin used during the bonding procedure is the same when filling cavities, making it a perfectly safe and long-lasting option.

The Safety of Dental Bonding

As individuals become increasingly aware of the toxicity of specific materials (for example, fillings containing mercury), dentists are happy to make patients aware that the materials used in dental bonding are entirely safe and non-toxic. The composite resin material used in bonding does not contain any toxic metals and has an exceptional safety profile.

The Popularity of Dental Bonding

When a tooth is successfully bonded, nobody will be able to see where the bonding ends, and your natural tooth begins. That is just one reason why this procedure is so popular. Let us look at some other reasons.

Versatility

Cosmetic bonding is incredibly versatile in the wide range of issues it can correct. One patient may have a tooth bonded to conceal discoloration, while another may need it for superficial decay. Either way, the effect is the same: A tooth that looks perfectly healthy and natural.

Safety

As has been mentioned, this procedure is non-invasive, utilizes materials that are entirely safe and non-toxic, and has an incredibly high success rate.

Quickly Performed

Even for those with the most hectic schedules, dental bonding is a procedure they can easily fit in. Treating a tooth can take as little as half an hour and, even when multiple teeth need bonding, your dentist will complete most procedures within an hour at most. That is achieved due to your dentist’s ability to harden the bonding material using special equipment.

No Downtime

Not only is dental bonding an incredibly quick procedure, but you will be able to resume your everyday activities immediately. You will not need even an hour’s recovery time, and no anesthetic is typically necessary during the procedure. When bonding material is being used to fill a cavity, you can expect to have a numb mouth afterward. It is one situation where some local anesthesia will be necessary.
