What Is Dental Bonding?
For a dental bonding treatment, Dr. Fossum first mixes a tooth-colored resin material until it precisely matches the shade of the tooth that’s being addressed. Then he simply molds the resin over any cracks and sculpts it to aesthetically fill chips. After the bonding cures, treatment is considered complete. All told, the entire process takes roughly one hour, depending on how many teeth you’d like to cosmetically restore. By the end, your smile will be perfectly seamless!
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Bonding?
Since dental bonding is a minimal, topical treatment that rarely requires an anesthetic, the vast majority of patients are good candidates. That said, Dr. Fossum will still perform a thorough oral exam beforehand. If you have a case of cavities, gum disease, or another harmful condition, it’s important to address that first so that the bonding resin can last as long as possible and won’t interfere with your health.
