One-third of adults are unhappy with their smiles. What if you could transform your teeth without needing an invasive treatment? Now you can with direct bonding in Lovell. You can get the smile of your dreams using a simple solution.
What is Direct Bonding?
Direct bonding goes by many names, like cosmetic or dental bonding. No matter what you call it, you can fix minor anesthetic imperfections using a composite resin material. It can be sculpted easily to resolve a variety of issues, including:
- Stains or discoloration
- Tooth decay
- Chips or cracks
- Abnormally shaped teeth
- Exposed tooth roots
- Shorter than average teeth
The biocompatible material can be customized to match the color of your enamel, so it will blend in with your teeth. No one will know it’s there because your new smile will look completely natural.
How Does Direct Bonding Work?
Direct bonding is a simple procedure that doesn’t permanently alter your tooth or require surgery. First, you’ll need a consultation with your dentist in Lovell to ensure you’re a candidate and to create a personalized treatment plan. Depending on the number of teeth you’re treating, the process can take 30-60 minutes. If you’re improving several teeth, we might recommend more than 1 appointment.
We will begin by cleaning your teeth and applying a weak acid to your tooth to open the pores in your enamel and dentin. This promotes a secure bond between your enamel and the resin. Your tooth is rinsed before we place the material on it, which has been previously shaded to match your enamel. It’s molded into the ideal shape before a special dental light is used to harden it in just a couple of minutes. Finally, your tooth is smoothed and polished, so you can walk out of the office with a beautiful smile.
Benefits of Direct Bonding
When compared to other cosmetic treatments, dental bonding is a patient-preferred option because it offers several advantages, including:
- Minimally invasive
- Natural-looking results
- Corrects several issues
- Doesn’t permanently alter a tooth
- Can last a decade or longer
- Affordable and cost-effective
- Drastic results after 1 visit
