Things You Should Know About Cosmetic Dental Bonding
Cosmetic teeth bonding is a very versatile tool your dentist can use to improve your dental health and enhance your smile. At the office of Franklin A. Landers, D.D.S., F.A.G.D. in Boynton Beach, FL, Dr. Landers and his professional staff offer cosmetic dental bonding procedures that can be used to correct a long list of imperfections and abnormalities that may be adversely impacting their oral and dental health. With cosmetic bonding, we can give you the smile you deserve.
What is cosmetic bonding?
Cosmetic dental bonding is a process in which a composite resin is used to correct abnormalities and imperfections on the surfaces of your teeth. The resin is customized so that it matches the color of the teeth being worked on, as well as the surrounding teeth. It is a non-invasive procedure that can be completed in one visit. There is no pain or discomfort to be worried about, and you can leave the office with a whiter, brighter smile.
How long will teeth bonding last?
Cosmetic bonding is incredibly durable. When dental bonding is used to correct imperfections and other dental issues, the results are long-lasting and can withstand many years of use. In some cases, dental bonding can last up to ten years or longer. With proper dental care and regular visits to your dentist, you can maintain your beautiful smile for many, many years.
What conditions can dental bonding fix?
Dental bonding can fix many types of imperfections, including chips, cracks, pits, fissures, and other more serious flaws. Cosmetic bonding can also be used to fill in gaps between teeth and create a more uniform smile. The composite resin used can brighten your teeth, as well as protect them from further decay.
Can dental bonding be used for restorative purposes as well as cosmetic ones?
Dental bonding can be used for both restorative and cosmetic purposes. While dental bonding is most often associated with whitening teeth, filling gaps, and altering the shape and size of your teeth, it can also be used for restorative purposes as well. Dental bonding can be used to repair chips, cracks, breaks, and cavities that can further damage the teeth if left untreated.

How long does the dental bonding process take?
The dental bonding process can take anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes. Once the area has been prepared, the resin can be applied and shaped to create whatever form is necessary to create a beautiful tooth. Once the application process is complete, your dentist will use a blue light to cure the resin so that it hardens successfully. The entire process takes less than an hour to complete, from start to finish.
Is cosmetic dental bonding expensive?
Cosmetic dental bonding is an inexpensive option compared to porcelain veneers and crowns. Dr. Franklin Landers in Boynton Beach, FL, will examine your teeth and determine if cosmetic bonding will be able to provide the desired results.
