Yuma Dental Bonding

You no longer need to hide your smile if you have a chip, gap, or discoloration on your tooth. Dental bonding is an excellent solution to fix one or two teeth. This type of procedure requires a high degree of talent and artistry and should be performed by an experienced cosmetic dentist.

Below is an example of a front tooth that has been bonded and repaired.

The Dental Bonding Procedure

Tooth bonding can be completed in one appointment. The surface of the tooth will be roughened slightly and then etched so the bonding agent can be applied. To replace the missing part of the tooth, a restorative composite material is sculpted into place by our experienced cosmetic dentist. It is polished, trimmed, and shaped making every effort to match your overall tooth structure. When completed you should not be able to tell where the natural tooth ends and the bonding begins. A tooth is not a single uniform color, there are many shades and levels of translucency. All of these factors are taken into consideration for a beautiful result that mimics your own natural tooth.

Bonding dramatically improves the overall appearance of your smile. Although, since the plastic resin is not as structurally sound as your original tooth, it may be prone to chipping or staining. An average bond will last approximately three to five years before you may need to have it repaired.
