Cosmetic Dental Bonding

Dental bonding, also known as composite or tooth bonding is an excellent way to fix cosmetic and structural imperfections in the teeth. It takes just about an hour to complete the procedure on each tooth. At Rivergate Dental Care in Goodlettsville, we specialize in dental bonding.

For What Conditions Is Dental Bonding Considered?

Dental bonding is an option that can be considered:
To repair decayed teeth (composite resins are used to fill cavities)
To repair chipped or cracked teeth
To improve the appearance of discolored teeth
To close spaces between teeth
To make teeth look longer
To change the shape of teeth
As a cosmetic alternative to amalgam fillings
To protect a portion of the tooth’s root that has been exposed when gums recede

The Tooth Bonding Procedure

Dr. Weaver can work out an individual plan for your dental bonding needs after a consultation and initial dental examination. To begin the teeth bonding procedure, Dr. Weaver selects a composite resin (dental bonding material) that matches the natural shade of your teeth. He then roughens the existing tooth so the resin can adhere properly. Next, the composite resin is carefully applied to the tooth, shaped, and smoothed to achieve the desired look. It is then quickly hardened using a high intensity light. Lastly, the bonded tooth is buffed and polished so it has the same appearance as the surrounding teeth.

Teeth bonding can usually be completed in one office visit, depending on the extent of repair needed. Even if treatment needs to be performed over two or more visits, you will be pleased to notice a significant difference in your smile after the first treatment.
