If minor smile flaws make you feel self-conscious, dental bonding at our Lakeland dental office may be the perfect solution. New dental materials are available today that make it possible to repair slight cosmetic defects easily and affordably.
What Is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure that uses tooth-colored composite resin to improve the look of your teeth. The material is carefully matched to your natural enamel so the final result blends seamlessly with your smile.
Dentists often recommend bonding to:
- Repair chipped or cracked teeth
- Close small gaps between teeth
- Cover stubborn stains or discoloration
- Reshape uneven or worn teeth
- Protect exposed tooth roots caused by gum recession
Dental Bonding Process at Quality Dental Care of Lakeland
Dental bonding is not as complicated as you may think. We use the same tooth-colored material that we use for dental fillings because it can be mixed to match the color of your natural teeth. This process allows us to repair problems like chipped or cracked teeth, teeth with uneven spaces, and even stains on your teeth.
Dental Bonding in Lakeland is done using a composite material that is very strong and durable. We apply it to the area that needs to be repaired or built up, shape it to match your natural teeth, and use a special light to cure the material so that it bonds securely and permanently to your teeth.
When we’re finished, no one will be able to tell that you’ve had any work done – they will only notice your naturally beautiful smile!
How Long Does Dental Bonding Last?
With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, dental bonding can last 3 to 10 years. Avoid habits like chewing ice, biting your nails, or opening packaging with your teeth to extend the life of your bonding.
