Dental Bonding

With all of the environmental factors that stain our teeth on a daily basis, tea, coffee, cigarettes, etc., it’s easy for them to appear a little lackluster. Fortunately, with dental bonding, our doctors at Bridge Smiles Dental Group P.A. can revitalize the shade of your tooth (or teeth) and bring your smile back to life. Dental bonding is among one of the easiest and least expensive cosmetic dental procedures that allow you to correct imperfections in your smile.

Direct composite bonding is popular because it provides a successful attachment from the filling material to the patient’s original enamel and dentin. The procedure itself usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour to complete. However, if you’re having more than one tooth done, this may require several visits. To prevent or minimize stains, our doctors will recommend that you stay away from habits that are likely to stain the bonding material.

Dental Bonding Breakage

Dental bonding is used on teeth that have been chipped, cracked, or fractured. It aesthetically resembles tooth enamel but lacks the quantity of strength. If our doctors at Bridge Smiles Dental Group P.A. have corrected your smile with dental bonding in the past, we want to take the time to talk about what to do if the bonding dissolves, or breaks apart.

Tooth enamel is the strongest bone in the human body and once it’s gone, it’s gone for good. If you consume a diet that is high in acidity, your dental bonding is at risk for breakage. Additionally, if you eat foods that are crunchy, this may chip the enamel and put your smile back at square one. If you notice a slight crack in a tooth that has been bonded, visit us immediately as this is a sign it needs repair.

Dental Bonding for Natural-Looking Tooth Restoration

Chips and cracks can diminish a smile. Fortunately, there is a simple solution. Here at Bridge Smiles Dental Group P.A. in Somerville, NJ and Neshanic Station, NJ, we offer dental bonding as a quick and affordable, yet strong and natural-looking restoration option.

Dental bonding is the process of shaping composite resin to fill in cracks, gaps, or misshapen teeth. It can also be used for long-lasting whitening. The resin is chosen in the same shade as your teeth for restorations or a brighter shade for whitening purposes. With good dental care, bonding can last over ten years.

The process of applying bonding first starts with lightly etching the teeth. This is to create a strong bond between your tooth and the resin. Your dentist will then smooth the resin over your tooth and shape it to make the desired improvement. An ultraviolet light is then used to harden the material. Afterwards, the resin may be polished so that it shines like natural tooth material.

Gaps, cracks, misalignments, chips, and discoloration are just some of the issues dental bonding can help fix.
