You need a quick fix for your smile if you have a chipped, cracked, or broken tooth. Dental bonding is a cosmetic dental treatment that fixes problems like tooth discoloration and damage.
Bonding treatment uses biocompatible, tooth-colored resin materials to cover cosmetic imperfections. At Lochwood Family Dental, we provide teeth bonding treatment to patients in Dallas, TX.
Teeth Bonding in Dallas, TX
We will first prepare the tooth to begin a dental bonding treatment in our office. Tooth preparation ensures that the tooth-colored bonding material properly adheres to the tooth. We may also need to reshape the tooth if you have a large tooth fracture or break.
Once we prepare your tooth, we color-match your tooth to ensure that the material is your desired shade. Then, we apply the tooth-colored bonding material to add structure to the tooth or change the tooth color. We will shape the bonding material to ensure you can bite comfortably and naturally. Once the tooth is shaped, we will harden the bonded tooth with a curing light. Finally, we polish the bonded tooth.
After bonding treatment, you can clean your bonded teeth like natural ones. Remember to use a soft-bristled toothbrush and gently brush in circular motions. Avoid toothpastes that contain abrasive ingredients because they can damage your bonded teeth and natural enamel.
Dental bonding is similar to veneers, but we often recommend bonding for tooth chips, fractures, breaks, and discoloration. Bonding can also be a more economical option if you need to treat a single tooth and do not want veneers.
Tooth bonding may not require as much tooth preparation as dental veneers if you do not have extensive damage. It also does not require as much treatment time because we do not need a dental lab to provide bonding treatment, unlike treatment with dental veneers.
