Is Cosmetic Bonding Right For You?
Do you have gaps in your teeth that you want to fix? Do you have chipped, damaged, or decayed teeth? Do you want to improve the appearance of your smile? If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, then cosmetic bonding may be the solution you are looking for.
What is Cosmetic Bonding?
Cosmetic bonding is a dental treatment that enhances your smile. During the procedure, tooth-colored composite resin is applied and bonded to your teeth to change their shape, size, or color.
Why Should I Consider Cosmetic Bonding?
Cosmetic bonding can conceal flaws like chipped or discolored teeth or gaps, giving you a uniform, natural-looking smile. It is also an economical choice compared to other treatments. Benefits of cosmetic bonding include:
- Restoring chipped or damaged teeth
- Concealing discoloration or stains
- Concealing cracks
- Closing gaps
- Making teeth look longer
- Giving teeth a more attractive shape
A healthy, beautiful smile will give you confidence and make you feel better about the appearance of your smile. In addition to improving your appearance, healthy teeth also contribute to your overall health. Fixing chipped and damaged teeth will improve your ability to chew your food properly and can prevent further damage to the tooth, which could, in turn, affect surrounding teeth.
Am I a Good Candidate for Cosmetic Bonding?
Cosmetic Bonding may not be for everyone. It works best for patients with only minor dental issues and on teeth that are not severely decayed. Regular dental exams and good oral hygiene can ensure that your teeth are healthy and eligible for cosmetic bonding.
How Do I Care for My Teeth After Cosmetic Bonding?
You should care for your bonded teeth the same way you do your natural teeth. Avoid biting your fingernails, chewing ice or hard candies, and using your teeth to tear things. Follow good oral hygiene practices: brush twice a day, floss, and rinse with mouthwash daily, and get regular checkups!
