Discreet Solutions for Cracks and Chips

The primary goal of cosmetic dentistry is to treat noticeable smile blemishes in a discreet, highly-realistic manner. When a patient experiences a minor chip or crack in a tooth, has a minor gap between teeth, or has a particularly difficult stain, our doctors and team may recommend the help of dental bonding. Utilizing a tooth-colored composite resin, bonding allows our team to treat cosmetic concerns in a discreet and non-invasive manner.

Ask Your Dentist About the Benefits of Dental Bonding

Your appointment will begin with a thorough examination of your smile to determine if your teeth are healthy and ready for cosmetic treatment. We will apply a tooth-colored composite resin material, then use a special light to cure or harden the material. Composite resin boasts the dual-benefits of closely resembling the natural appearance of teeth as well as securely adhering to teeth for a durable finish. The procedure only lasts about 30 minutes to an hour for each tooth, depending on the extent of improvement required, and our team will take care to thoroughly go over your options with you.

If your tooth needs a cosmetic touchup, tooth bonding may be able to improve your smile without permanently altering your healthy natural tooth structure. When you are ready to learn more and get started on your smile makeover with dental bonding, call Allen Family Dental at 469-342-6644.
