Small flaws in your teeth can make a big difference in how you feel about your smile. Dental bonding is a fast and affordable cosmetic treatment that repairs chips, cracks, gaps and discoloration with natural-looking results. At Summercrest Dental, we use dental bonding to help patients achieve smooth, even smiles in just one visit.
What Is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding uses a tooth-colored resin material that is applied directly to the surface of the tooth. The resin is shaped, smoothed and hardened with a special light to blend perfectly with your natural teeth. Our dentist may recommend bonding for patients who want a conservative solution to enhance their smile without the need for more extensive dental work.
Dr. Alex Yanchuk may suggest dental bonding in Beaverton, Oregon, to:
- Repair chipped or cracked teeth
- Improve the shape or length of teeth
- Close small gaps between teeth
- Cover stains or discoloration
- Protect exposed tooth roots
Bonding is a minimally invasive procedure, often requiring no anesthesia, and typically completed in just one appointment.
Fast, Affordable and Effective Cosmetic Improvement
At our office, dental bonding is customized to match your exact tooth shade and contour. This creates a seamless appearance while strengthening the treated area. The process includes:
- Lightly roughening the tooth surface
- Applying a conditioning liquid for strong adhesion
- Sculpting and shaping the composite resin
- Curing the material with a special light
- Polishing the bonded tooth for a natural finish
Benefits of dental bonding include:
- Immediate cosmetic improvement
- Minimally invasive and pain-free treatment
- Budget-friendly alternative to veneers or crowns
- Preservation of most natural tooth structure
While bonding materials are not as durable as porcelain, they are an excellent short-to-medium-term solution for many cosmetic concerns.
