Many dental flaws can be fixed with a simple, economical procedure called dental bonding. At Dental Town DC in Washington, DC, our team of expert dentists use dental bonding to offer you the smile you’ve always wanted.
Many Tooth Imperfections Go Away with Dental Bonding
Cracked or chipped teeth: Dental bonding can repair chips from biting your pencil, hard candy, or ice, or from playing sports.
Discolored teeth: Teeth may stain or yellow due to coffee, tea, red wine, or berries. Medications and age can also cause discoloration as the enamel thins and the yellowish dentin underneath is exposed.
Gapped teeth: An unusually large gap between two front teeth can be closed with bonding.
Alter tooth shape or length: Misshapen or shorter teeth can usually be corrected with dental bonding.
Filling cavities: Metal fillings are unsightly. We can fill cavities with the safe, attractive composite resin used in dental bonding.
Dental Bonding Is Simple and Fast
The dentist applies a local anesthetic to keep you comfortable, selects the best color for your composite resin, roughens the surface of your tooth, and coats it with a liquid that helps the resin bond. The resin is applied, molded, and hardened with a special light, then polished to a natural sheen. Learn more about tooth bonding by consulting with Dental Town DC today.
