Dental bonding treatment is incredibly versatile and useful in the world of dentistry. Our Santa Monica dentists use bonding to help patients achieve healthy and attractive smile in a short period of time. Keep reading to learn more about the effects that we can realize using bonding.
Smile Whitening
Some people are not able to whiten their smiles using topical whitening formulations. For these patients, dental bonding can be used to help them get a white and bright smile quickly. Our dental team covers the patient’s natural enamel with custom-shaded dental resin in order to resurface the tooth.
Correct Damage
If you have existing cracks or chips in your teeth, dental bonding can be used to repair your smile and help you avoid additional damage. Dental damage is not only unsightly; it also leaves your tooth susceptible to further damage and infections. It is best for your smile if you seek timely treatment for minor dental problems.
Improve Aesthetic Balance
Dental bonding allows our team to build up narrow or short teeth so that they look seamless with your overall smile. Bonding can also give your smile a straighter appearance; in order to achieve this our dentist builds up the enamel on crooked or crowded teeth.
Dental Bite
Dental resin can be used to build up uneven or misaligned bite surfaces, and help your jaw function healthily. If you have a poorly aligned bite, you may experience premature dental wear and tear and TMJ issues as a result.
The dental bonding process is very quick and comfortable for the patient. This is also a more affordable treatment option than many other aesthetic dentistry treatments. Our Santa Monica dentists are happy to provide you with all of the information that you need about dental bonding, and all of your treatment options!
