If you are unhappy with your smile, the procedure consisting of bonding and white fillings may be the solution. This option can fix certain cosmetic issues with your teeth just as well as more costly procedures. It is not an overstatement to say that a new smile can be life-changing. A brand new, refreshed, healthy smile will make you more confident and happy overall. Dr. Suzanne Haeri in Los Angeles, CA uses bonding and white fillings to dramatically improve your smile.
What is bonding?
Dental bonding is a very common procedure used to correct smaller aesthetic concerns, such as gaps or cracks in teeth. It consists of a tooth-colored resin chosen to closely match the shade of your teeth. A liquid bonding agent is applied to your teeth to which the composite resin adheres. After bonding the resin to your teeth, it is then shaped and sculpted. Once the shape of the resin is exactly the way we want it to look, ultraviolet light is applied to harden the resin. When all of this is done, the new resin is polished and you leave our office with a new, beautiful smile.
What are some common dental issues that bonding and white fillings are used to correct?
Smaller concerns that do not encompass the entire tooth may be appropriate for bonding and white filling. This procedure can be used to correct a multitude of issues by Dr. Suzanne Heri in Los Angeles, CA. Bonding and white fillings are appropriate for the following:
- Filling in a gap between teeth
- Repairing a chipped or cracked tooth
- Strengthening and repeating worn down teeth
- Restoring a brighter color to stained teeth
- Altering the shape of malformed or crooked teeth
- Protection of the root of teeth that may be exposed due to a receding gumline
Are there any maintenance routines to be aware of after the procedure?
While maintaining the look of your new smile may require subsequent visits to the dentist, general upkeep of your corrected teeth will require little more than a good oral hygiene routine. From time to time, you may need to visit your dentist to remove a stain or for the adhesion of new bonding material that may have chipped away. But if you practice proper oral hygiene consisting of brushing at least twice a day, flossing once a day, using mouthwash and having regular checkups with your dentist, the bonding material on your teeth should last for many years.
