If you’re looking for a simple and effective way to enhance your smile, cosmetic bonding may be the perfect solution. Cosmetic bonding is a relatively quick and painless procedure that can often be completed in a single dental visit. Unlike other cosmetic treatments, cosmetic dental bonding is a more conservative option that preserves much of your natural tooth structure. It offers an excellent solution for minor cosmetic issues and can provide immediate results.
During this initial appointment, you will discuss your concerns, desired outcome, and goals for your smile. Dr. Barta will evaluate your oral health, assess the specific dental issues you wish to address and determine if cosmetic bonding is the appropriate treatment option.
Our dentist will apply the resin to the prepared tooth, carefully sculpting and shaping it to achieve the most esthetic shape possible. The material is applied in layers, curing each layer individually. This allows for precise control over the shape and appearance of the bonded tooth.
In most cases, minimal preparation is required. The dentist will lightly etch or roughen the tooth’s surface to create a better bonding surface for the composite resin material. After tooth preparation, the dentist will carefully select a shade of composite resin that matches the color of your natural teeth.
After the composite has been applied and hardened, Dr. Barta will refine the shape, contour, and texture of the tooth. Once the desired shape is achieved, the dentist will polish the bonded tooth, giving it a smooth and glossy, natural-looking finish.
