What Is Dental Bonding?

The resin is applied to the tooth’s surface and shaped to correct any imperfections, such as chips, cracks, or gaps. It can also cover stains or discoloration and make teeth appear longer or more symmetrical.

Benefits of Dental Bonding

There are many benefits to dental bonding, including:

  • Affordability: Dental bonding is one of the most affordable cosmetic dentistry treatments.
  • Non-Invasive: Unlike other cosmetic dentistry procedures, such as veneers or crowns, dental bonding is a non-invasive procedure that preserves the natural tooth structure.
  • Quick Procedure: Dental bonding can usually be completed in a single visit to your dentist.
  • Versatility: Dental bonding can correct imperfections, including chips, cracks, gaps, stains, and discoloration.
  • Durability: With proper care, dental bonding can last for several years.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding is an excellent option for individuals with minor cosmetic imperfections, such as small chips or gaps, or those who want to improve the appearance of discolored teeth. It may not be suitable for individuals with more extensive dental issues or who need structural repairs.

How Does Dental Bonding Work?

  1. Preparation: Your Laguna Hills dentist will begin by preparing the tooth by lightly etching the surface to create a rough texture that will help the bonding material adhere.
  2. Conditioning: Dr. Löberg will then apply a conditioning liquid to the tooth to further enhance the bond between the resin and the tooth.
  3. Application of Resin: Next, he’ll apply the resin material to the tooth and shape it to achieve the desired appearance.
  4. Curing: After shaping the resin, Dr. Löberg will use a special light to harden the resin.
  5. Polishing: Finally, he’ll polish the tooth to match the shine of your natural teeth.

Dental Bonding Aftercare

After the procedure, it's essential to take proper care of your teeth to ensure the longevity of the bonding. Here are some aftercare tips:

  • Avoid Staining Agents: Avoid consuming staining agents such as coffee, tea, or tobacco for at least 48 hours after the procedure.
  • Brush and Floss: Continue brushing and flossing your teeth daily to prevent plaque buildup and decay.
  • Regular Dental Visits: Schedule regular dental visits to ensure the bonding is still in good condition.
