Dental bonding is a method for repairing damaged teeth and improving the appearance of teeth with cosmetic issues. Whether you have a tooth that is chipped, cracked, or discolored, dental bonding can help. Dr. Vincent Lim, Dr. Allan Sio, and Dr. Philip Vassilopoulos the highly skilled dentists at North Berkeley Dental Arts in North Berkeley, CA, can enhance and restore your smile with dental bonding.
How Dental Bonding Works
Dental bonding can be used to repair damaged teeth, such as those that are chipped. It can also be used to conceal cosmetic issues, such as stains and discolorations that professional teeth whitening treatments cannot remove.
Dental bonding is performed by applying a tooth-colored composite resin material to the treatment area. The consistency of the resin is similar to putty so it can be easily shaped. After applying the resin, a special light is used to cure it. The resin permanently bonds to the tooth as it dries. The bonded area will look like part of the natural tooth once it is completely dry. The experienced dentists at our office in North Berkeley, CA, can determine if dental bonding is the right method for repairing or enhancing your teeth.
Benefits of Dental Bonding
One of the benefits of dental bonding is that it is versatile and can be used to address a diverse range of issues, including:
- Sealing cracked teeth
- Repairing chipped teeth
- Closing small gaps between teeth
- Reshaping teeth that are misshapen
- Concealing stains and discolorations
- Covering and protecting exposed tooth roots
Another benefit of dental bonding is that it looks completely natural. The resin material blends in with the natural tooth. Others will not be able to tell you’ve had bonding performed on any of your teeth.
Dental bonding is a highly effective and convenient option for significantly improving your smile. Chips and cracks can be repaired, while cosmetic flaws can be concealed. Dr. Lim, Dr. Sio, and Dr. Vassilopoulos can help you decide if dental bonding is right for you.
