If you have something that you’d like to change about your smile, you are not alone. Nearly everyone has imperfections in their teeth, such as gaps, chips, cracks, and other issues. At Royal Dental Practice in West Hills, California, Dr. Roya Shoffet provides cosmetic and restorative dental solutions tailored to your unique needs, including dental bonding.
Dental bonding is a convenient, economical, and customized way to transform the appearance of one or more teeth. The procedure for dental bonding is quite similar to when we place tooth-colored fillings; however, no drilling is necessary with bonding, making it even easier on patients than getting a filling! In fact, in most cases, an anesthetic is not needed, and the process is quick, gentle, and painless.
First, we prepare the tooth by roughening the surface and applying a conditioning liquid, which helps the bonding material adhere to the tooth. Then, Dr. Shoffet will determine which shade of composite material will match your existing teeth the best and mold it onto your tooth to create the desired shape. A special light is then used to harden the material for durability. Finally, Dr. Shoffet will make any minor adjustments needed until you are both happy with the results, and then you are free to enjoy your new smile!
Dental bonding is a versatile treatment that can improve the appearance of your smile and restore the shape and function of teeth that have been damaged or worn down. Some examples of ways dental bonding can be used include:
