Posted by Dental Centre of Conroe

While you are likely the only one who notices, we empathize with your feelings and offer dental bonding to improve minor flaws. Whether you feel unhappy with a too-short tooth or problems like minor cracks, this cosmetic treatment will quickly transform the way you feel about your smile. Learn a bit more about this treatment for a clearer understanding of how it may help you.

Bonding Basics

Not quite sure what dental bonding is? To complete this treatment, we will replace tooth tissue that has been lost as a result of damage. We will create the illusion of tooth tissue where you need more. Or, we will camouflage minor problems. Bonding relies on the use of a synthetic-resin material called composite, which we will shape appropriately and color-match to your surrounding tooth or teeth. Once we mold it into shape, place it, or paint the material over an imperfection, we will set the composite. The finished result will blend with your smile for a seamless improvement.

What You Can Achieve

Bonding addresses a variety of aesthetic imperfections. We encourage you to consider this cosmetic service if you wish to achieve one or more of the following:

  • Improved chips
  • Improved minor cracks
  • Filled gaps between teeth, so neighboring teeth appear to touch without the use of orthodontics
  • Creating the appearance of a longer tooth in the case of one tooth that appears shorter than the rest
  • Coverage of a severe stain

Is Dental Bonding for You?

Bonding is a procedure appropriate for natural teeth. If you have damaged artificial teeth like crowns, we will need to discuss alternative solutions. In addition, this treatment works well to improve minor concerns that do not affect the health of your smile.
