What Is Cosmetic Bonding?
Cosmetic bonding is a moldable resin made from tooth-colored materials. Dr. Koenitzer will use shade-matching techniques to make sure the color of the resin is identical to your tooth enamel, then shape the resin to “fill in” any chips, cracks, or dental gaps you’d like to address. After the materials harden and cure, you’ll hardly notice a difference between your natural enamel and the cosmetic bonding.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Cosmetic Bonding?
Since cosmetic bonding rarely requires an anesthetic and is a surface application, it’s suitable for the vast majority of patients. That said, there are two instances where we would recommend adjusting your treatment plan:
- If you have an oral condition like cavities or gum disease, it’s important to address your oral health before proceeding with any dental cosmetic treatment.
- If you have a major chip, deep crack, or severe gap between your teeth, cosmetic bonding might not be as effective as a dental crown, veneers, or orthodontics.
Rest assured, this is something we’ll talk about during your consultation.
