How Bonding Works to Improve Flawed Teeth

Dental bonding procedure is a quick, affordable cosmetic dental treatment used to correct simple tooth flaws that detract from your smile’s appearance. Bonding can help fix minor chips and cracks in your teeth, conceal tooth stains or close a gap in your front teeth to make your smile more appealing. At StarBrite Dental, we offer dental cosmetic bonding services to residents of Dublin and surrounding communities. 

Composite Bonding Procedure

First, Dr. Munira Lokhandwala will evaluate your teeth to assess the problems that need to be fixed. This evaluation will help determine if bonding is the best treatment for improving your smile’s appearance. If so, we’ll prepare your teeth for bonding by applying a special solution that helps the bonding material stick. 

Bonding uses composite resin material, similar to what’s used for dental fillings, to repair chips and cracks, conceal stains, or close gaps in your teeth. This putty-like resin material is applied to your tooth surface and molded into the shape of your tooth to give it a natural-looking appearance. Once it has the desired shape, we’ll harden the resin material using a UV light to cement it onto your tooth. Lastly, we’ll polish your treated tooth to make it look new.

What Imperfections Can Bonding Fix?

Bonding can fix many common tooth flaws that make people uncomfortable with their smile. This includes: 

  • Gaps in front teeth
  • Chipped, cracked, or jagged teeth
  • Stained or discolored teeth 
  • Undersized teeth

Bonding is used primarily on teeth that are visible when you smile to give them a more pleasing appearance. Through bonding, Dr. Lokhandwala can close small gaps in your teeth, whiten your smile, and make short teeth appear longer or thin teeth appear wider to give your smile a more uniform appearance. Dental bonding can also be applied to fill the area between your tooth and gum to correct a receding gum line to prevent exposure of your tooth root.

Dental bonding is a non-invasive, painless cosmetic treatment that can be completed in one dental visit. To schedule a consultation for dental bonding services, contact StarBrite Dental in Dublin at (925) 828-0252.
