Dental Bonding is very affordable,
and if you have been hiding your smile because of that gap in-between your
teeth, schedule an appointment with a Dentist in Chicago who can repair that chipped tooth
or replace your silver amalgam fillings with tooth colored restorations.
Web MD will tell you that Dental Bonding is a
21st century modern dental procedure using a durable plastic resin
that is applied directly to the problem area. Once your Chicago Dentist applies
the Dental Bonding it will be hardened using a light that bonds the restoration
to the area.
Dr. Romo will recommend bonding if your teeth
are discolored or stained or if you want to close that gap in-between your
teeth. Chipped teeth can also be repaired as well as the shape of your teeth.
That front tooth that is a bit farther back than the other can be repaired with
dental bonding in a single appointment.
One of the most popular dental procedures is
also the most affordable and easiest. The tooth colored resin is normally used
for cosmetic reasons, but can also be used to fill that cavity in your front
tooth. Other reasons that your Chicago Dentist may recommend Dental Bonding is
to protect part of the root of your tooth that has receded because of gum
disease. In nearly all cases anesthetic is not
required for cosmetic Dental Bonding, but may be necessary if you are having a
filling replaced or need your dentist to repair a cavity.
Dental Bonding is different to veneers in
that Dental Bonding only requires a single 30-minute visit. Veneers require a
couple of visits as your Dentist in Chicago will need to make a mold to insure
proper fit.
When you schedule an appointment for Dental Bonding,
your dentist will of course make sure that you are a good candidate giving you
a clean bill of health when it comes to your teeth and gums. Once given the all
clear, your dentist will choose a resin color from a shade guide that best
matches your natural tooth color. Once the color has been chosen, your Chicago
Dentist will lightly etch the surface of the tooth in order to roughen it up a
bit. One the abrasion is complete; your dentist will coat the area with
conditioning liquid helping the bonding material adhere properly.
After the preparation, your dentist will
apply that resin that is much like putty, before smoothing and modeling to the
proper shape. After Dr. Romo is happy with the look, the area will be hardened
with a laser or ultraviolet light. Once hardened he will shape, trim and
polish.
Dental Bonding will not last forever. Don’t
bite your nails and never chew on ice as it can chip the Dental Bonding. Try
avoiding smoking, tea coffee or red wine, which can stain the Dental Bonding.
