Dental Bonding in Omaha and Millard, NE
Quick Answer: What Is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure that uses a tooth-colored composite resin to repair chipped, cracked, discolored, uneven, or gapped teeth. The material is carefully shaped and bonded to the tooth to improve its appearance while maintaining a natural look. In many cases, dental bonding can be completed in a single visit, making it one of the quickest and most affordable ways to enhance your smile.
How does dental bonding work?
The tooth is prepared for dental bonding by lightly etching the surface and applying a bonding liquid. Once the liquid sets, a plastic resin is applied and sculpted into the desired shape by the dentist. Once set, the resin is trimmed, smoothed and polished to a natural appearance.
Considerations for Dental Bonding
The bonding procedure can often be completed in a single office visit, and can improve the appearance of a tooth significantly. However, since the plastic resin used is not as strong as your natural tooth enamel, it is more likely to stain, chip or break than natural teeth. Bonding typically lasts three to five years before need of repair.
