Fix Cosmetic or Structural Imperfections
There is overwhelming evidence that your oral health is connected to your total health. And that’s why we focus on improving both. Dental bonding is one treatment that can have a significantly positive effect.
Dental bonding is an excellent way to repair cosmetic or structural flaws in the teeth. If you’d like to cover up a crack or chip, or create greater consistency in the size and shape of your teeth, dental bonding at the Oakland practice of Total Health Dental Care or the Berkeley practice of Total Health Dental Care may be a suitable solution. We invite you to learn more about the benefits of dental bonding, and contact one of our friendly and informative staff members to schedule an appointment with our dentists.
Benefits of Dental Bonding
Bonding is a quick and affordable way to fix structural damage that can adversely affect oral health. Dental bonding may address certain oral health concerns, such as a strengthening a significantly decayed tooth, or covering a tooth root that has been exposed by receding gums. If not addressed promptly, the aforementioned conditions could have a negative impact on your overall health.
The aesthetic results of dental bonding are a major draw. Patients enjoy greater uniformity in the teeth after a bonding treatment, meaning that an abnormally small or oddly shaped tooth can be bonded to match the surrounding teeth. Many of our patients choose dental bonding for the ease of the procedure. The entire process is completed within a short visit to our office. The results are long-lasting and very natural looking.
What is Dental Bonding?
An alternative to porcelain veneers and crowns, dental bonding is used to create uniformity in the teeth and mask structural or cosmetic flaws such as chips, cracks, gaps, or discoloration. To prepare the teeth for dental bonding, the enamel is slightly roughened; this ensures that the bonding material properly adheres to the tooth. The composite resin bonding material is carefully applied to the tooth and artfully sculpted and shaped. A special high intensity light is applied to harden the material and ensure it is bonded to the tooth. The bonding material is then polished so it matches the sheen of the surrounding teeth.
