What Is Dental Bonding?

Smile problems? Dental bonding can give you the beautiful smile you've always wanted. Sullivan & Turner in Somerdale, NJ, offers a full range of family dental services, including dental bonding. Here's everything you've ever wanted to know about dental bonding.

What is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding is the application of a tooth-colored material using a light source, which bonds the material to the teeth to improve a person's smile. Dental bonding is used to repair decayed teeth, chipped teeth and cracked teeth. Composite bonding is also used to improve the appearance of discolored teeth and close spaces between teeth.

What Are the Benefits of Bonding?

Composite bonding can usually be done in one office visit, unless several teeth are involved. Very little tooth enamel is removed with this procedure, which gives it an advantage over options like dental crowns and veneers. Also, unless composite bonding is being performed to repair a cavity, anesthesia is not required.

Dental Bonding Consultation

A consultation with your Somerdale dentist will determine what cosmetic dental problems can be solved with dental bonding. Your dentist will conduct an examination of your gums and teeth that may involve x-rays. During your dental bonding consultation, your dentist will discuss if you are a candidate for the dental problems that bonding can correct.
