What is Direct Bonding?
This treatment, also commonly referred to as dental or cosmetic bonding, involves applying tooth-colored resin directly to your enamel in layers to mend or mask one or several imperfections. Once they’ve molded the material into the ideal shape, it’s hardened with a special ultraviolet light to bond with your enamel for a long-lasting repair. Plus, the resin is customized to match the natural shade of your teeth for seamless results.
This method is used to address multiple aesthetic concerns, such as:
- Chips
- Cracks
- Stubborn stains
- Slight gaps between teeth
- Somewhat misshapen teeth
Who is a Good Candidate for Direct Bonding?
Potentially, anyone unhappy with one or more flaws in their teeth can benefit from direct bonding, but that doesn’t mean it’s the best treatment for everyone’s unique circumstances. Before proceeding, you must consult with one of our dentists to ensure that no other issues, like tooth decay or gum disease, could interfere with your results.
If we find any issues, don’t worry! We can work with you to clear them up effectively so that you can continue with your elected cosmetic service or recommend a more appropriate solution based on your dental condition.
