While extreme smile makeovers that combine multiple treatments can provide transformative results, sometimes your smile might only need a little bit of help to shine its brightest.

That’s where dental composite bonding comes in. It’s an easy and inexpensive way to improve the appearance of your smile with incredible results.

What is Dental Composite Bonding?

Dental composite bonding is a simple, conservative way to correct imperfections in your smile. During the bonding process, the skilled team at SMILE! Advanced Dental Center places a composite resin material directly onto the tooth structure.

Because the resin is malleable and puttylike when first applied, it can be shaped and sculpted to fit the tooth and correct any flaws in the tooth’s appearance. The composite resin is then hardened, trimmed, and polished to provide a lasting, aesthetic restoration.

Dental bonding typically requires just one quick and comfortable treatment with little to no tooth preparation required.

5 Benefits of Dental Composite Bonding

1. The results look natural.

Not only is the composite resin material tooth-colored to match the best variation for your smile, but it is custom-shaped and sculpted specifically for your teeth. That ensures an entirely natural-looking finish.

2. Your tooth enamel is preserved.

No teeth are harmed in the dental bonding procedure! Unlike dental veneers, which is an irreversible treatment because some of the enamel is removed, composite bonding does not compromise the tooth structure. Many patients appreciate this less invasive approach to correcting cosmetic flaws, as it also gives them the flexibility to consider other cosmetic options later.

3. It whitens your teeth.

Sometimes no matter how many whitening treatments you do, your teeth do not respond as you’d prefer. That’s where dental bonding can also be instrumental. Rather than continue to get regular whitening treatments, composite bonding can fix stains and discoloration more permanently, so you can have that whiter smile you desire in a flash.

4. It corrects minor alignment issues.

If you have minor teeth alignment issues, like small gaps between your teeth or uneven teeth surfaces and length, dental bonding can easily disguise these problems. The composite material literally smooths over any rough edges and corrects imperfections quickly and easily. Many patients are delighted to hear that they won’t have to explore orthodontics, like braces, to see similar results.

5. It’s cost-effective.

While your teeth will look like a million bucks, dental bonding won’t cost anywhere near that amount. The cost will vary depending on several factors, including how many teeth are impacted and the extent of the dental bonding. But there’s really no other cosmetic dental procedure that offers such transformation and value at such an affordable price point.
