One of the most versatile methods for restoring or refining a smile is dental bonding. If you’ve had a tooth-colored filling, or perhaps have had a chipped tooth quickly repaired, then you’ve experienced dental bonding.
Dental bonding may sound like a simple process. But it requires advanced training, technical skill and artful technique to create a bonded surface that is imperceptible from your natural tooth.
Dental bonding in Buckhead is nothing short of amazing in how it can be used:
● Fill cavities with non-metal, tooth-colored restorations
● Refine the shape of a tooth or close minor spaces between teeth
● Lengthen a tooth that is shorter than the rest of your teeth
● Cover a badly stained tooth
● Repair a broken or chipped tooth
Just what is dental bonding? Dental bonding uses a pliable resin, custom-colored to the rest of your teeth. It’s applied and sculpted to fit the contours of the tooth being restored, as well as the adjacent teeth.
The restoration is then hardened using a special light, after which it’s refined and polished. Some patients may be skeptical about what dental bonding can do for them. Until they have it done and look in the mirror! They can’t believe they’re looking at the same tooth.
