What Is Dental Bonding or Direct Bonding?
Direct bonding is also called dental bonding or cosmetic bonding. It is a cosmetic dentistry procedure that improves the color, size, shape, and overall appearance of your teeth. During dental bonding, we use a composite resin material that mimics the natural color and appearance of your surrounding teeth. We can correct minor cosmetic and aesthetic issues like discoloration and stains, damage from tooth decay, and exposed tooth roots. Dental bonding is a faster and less invasive alternative to other cosmetic and restorative dentistry methods.
Who Should Consider Dental Bonding?
You should consider dental bonding if you have minor cosmetic or aesthetic issues affecting your smile, confidence, or self-esteem. Dr. Cavendish in North Phoenix can use cosmetic dental bonding to repair, conceal, or improve:
- Chips or cracks in your teeth.
- Discoloration or staining.
- Gaps or spaces between your teeth.
- Small or short teeth.
- Uneven or irregularly shaped teeth.
What to Expect When You Get Cosmetic Dental Bonding
Before you undergo cosmetic dental bonding, Dr. Cavendish and his team will meet with you to go over your needs and goals. We want you to have clear expectations for the procedure and understand every step of the process. We will take dental x-rays and thoroughly examine your teeth, gums, and mouth. We can even show you a 3D rendering of what your teeth will look like once dental bonding is complete. You will then choose a shade of composite resin material for your bonding. We suggest you choose a color as close to your surrounding natural teeth as possible. Dr. Cavendish will then slightly roughen up the surface of your teeth to allow the bonding material to adhere. He will apply the composite resin material to each tooth, and mold and smooth it to the correct shape. He will then harden or cure the material with a special light and then polish your tooth or teeth until they shine. Composite bonding dental work is not painful or uncomfortable, and we don’t need to use anesthesia. It is a minimally invasive procedure, and you can immediately return to your regular activities without any downtime or recovery time.
