Dr. Cher Rich can create a confident and healthy smile using a minimally invasive procedure. You can enjoy lasting results after just one appointment.

What Is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding is a procedure that offers both cosmetic and restorative benefits. A composite resin is shaded to the color of enamel to blend in with a tooth when used to fix minor imperfections.

After an initial consultation, you're scheduled for the procedure, which you can expect to take 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the number of teeth you're treating. After cleaning your tooth, your dentist will apply a weak acid to open the pores in your enamel to create a strong bonding surface. The previously shaded resin is applied to your tooth and molded into the ideal shape before a special dental light is used to harden it in a matter of seconds. Your tooth is smooth and polished, and you'll walk out of your appointment with a beautiful smile.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding is suitable for many situations. Your cosmetic dentist will examine your mouth and learn more about your goals to determine if it is right for you. Often, dental bonding is recommended to treat:

• Tooth Decay
• Exposed Tooth Roots
• Stains and Discoloration
• Chips and Cracks
• Gaps
• Abnormally Shaped Tooth

The Benefits of Dental Bonding

When compared to other cosmetic procedures, dental bonding offers various benefits that aren't possible with other methods. Dental bonding is a popular choice because of its various advantages, including:

• Natural-Looking Results: The resin is perfectly shaded to match your enamel, so only a trained dental professional will know it's there. You won't think twice before showing off your pearly whites.
• Minimally Invasive: You don't have to undergo complex dental procedures to fix your smile. In about an hour, you can have noticeable results that last.
• Durable: Dental bonding is a great solution because it is durable. Your results can last for 5 to 15 years before needing to be replaced.
• Affordable: Dental bonding offers a lot of bang for your buck. It is more affordable than other options, and it may be covered by your dental insurance if medically necessary, like fixing a chipped tooth.
