Dental Bonding West Hartford

What is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding involves using the same material that we use to repair cavities, called composite resin. With it, we’re able to sculpt the missing or uneven portion of a tooth, all while shading it to look virtually indistinguishable from the natural enamel. Once the resin is attached to the tooth, our team will expose it to UV light to cure it, making it more durable and allowing it to withstand daily wear.

Dental bonding is an exceptionally versatile cosmetic treatment option that can address a range of issues, including:

• Chipped teeth
• Misshapen teeth (teeth that look too short)
• Small gaps between teeth
• Stubborn stains that can’t be treated with whitening

Who is a Good Candidate for Dental Bonding?

While dental bonding can help most patients experiencing any of the cosmetic concerns listed above, there are a few traits that good candidates will have, including:

• A desire to improve minor cosmetic flaws in your smile because they make you feel less confident. Bonding isn’t typically appropriate for more extensive aesthetic concerns.
• Your teeth are healthy and free of cavities or other oral health issues. Bonding shouldn’t be used to mask signs of dental problems.
• You are looking for a quick, easy, and cost-effective cosmetic solution that will allow you to leave our office with results that same day.

If these sound like you and you’re interested in learning more about dental bonding, don’t hesitate to call our team at West Hartford Dental Group. We can assess your candidacy and walk you through what the procedure will look like!

The Benefits of Dental Bonding

Dental bonding offers a variety of benefits that make the service well worth the investment for most of our patients. Some of these advantages include:

• Achieve fast results (usually within an hour, depending on the extent of your case).
• Results can last for five years or longer with proper care.
• Easy to maintain and care for. Just brush and floss your teeth like you normally would to keep them healthy.
• Painless treatment process that typically doesn’t even require local anesthesia.
• A similar effect to porcelain veneers at a much lower cost for our patients who are budget-conscious.

While addressing small dental flaws may not sound worth it, you will be surprised at how much of an impact dental bonding can have on the way you react with people and your confidence! We encourage you to drop in to our office and learn more about the treatment if it’s something that interests you!
