Find out how this simple cosmetic procedure could improve the aesthetics of your smile.
Dealing with minor imperfections that others may not notice but that bother you? Are you looking for a subtle, simple way to enhance one or more of your teeth? Then look no further than our Findlay, OH, cosmetic dentist Dr. Krystal DeClerck, who is ready to give your smile the revitalizing boost it needs through dental bonding.
What is dental bonding?
This simple, inexpensive, and painless procedure uses a tooth-colored resin that is easily moldable when applied to the surface of your teeth. This material can be used to cover unsightly cosmetic imperfections while also improving the color or shape of one or more teeth. Everything from chips and cracks to stains and gaps between teeth can be improved with this easy and non-invasive cosmetic treatment.
How does dental bonding work?
We will first need to prep the tooth in order to make sure that the bonding resin sticks to the surface so we can mold and contour it over the tooth. In order to do this, we will paint a gel over the tooth that will safely and painlessly etch the enamel and roughen it so that the resin stays on.
From there, we will choose the proper resin that most closely matches the shade of your teeth. We will apply and mold the resin over the flaw or flaws and then harden it with a dental light. In 30 minutes to one hour, you can have a completely restored and improved smile.
How long will my results last?
Like most dental restorations, bonding resin won’t last forever; however, if you continue to maintain good oral hygiene and visit our Findlay, OH, dentist every six months for routine cleanings then the bonding resin could last up to eight years or more. The average lifespan of resin is about four to eight years, depending on the tooth that has been treated and how you care for your smile.
Here at our dental office, we pride ourselves on offering the very best dental services possible in Findlay, OH. Whether you want to find out if dental bonding is right for you or you’re interested in the other cosmetic services we offer, don’t hesitate to reach out to DeClerck Family Dental for the dentistry you need.
Are you reluctant to show off your smile because you don’t like what it reveals? You’re not alone--many people are displeased with the appearance of their teeth. Each person worries for different reasons, but there is a solution. Veneers can give your smile a shining 
makeover, allowing you to enjoy brand new teeth designed by you. Learn more from your Findlay, OH dentist at DeClerck Family Dental.
How Could Veneers Improve My Smile?
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are permanently bonded to your front teeth. They're a great way to cover flaws and give you the even, white smile you desire.
Veneers are a popular choice to change the appearance of teeth that are:
- Chipped
- Fractured
- Discolored
- Misshapen
- Jagged
- Ridged
- Misaligned
Veneers are made of stain-resistant porcelain and created in your ideal shade of white--whether that's natural ivory, movie-star white or anything in between. They can elongate teeth that appear worn down or too short, cover minor gaps or overlaps and smooth out jagged edges or craters in your enamel. In short, if you want to change the shape or color of your teeth for any reason, porcelain veneers could be your ticket to a brand-new smile.
Getting Your New Veneers
The first step to getting your dream smile is to schedule a consultation with your Findlay dentist. Your dentist will listen to your concerns and desires, examine your teeth and help you decide if veneers are the right choice for your specific needs.
The next step is preparation. At your second visit, a small amount of enamel is removed from your front teeth to make space for the veneers. Your dentist will then take an impression of your teeth and send it off to the lab so they can create your new veneer. Depending on your needs, a temporary veneer might be placed at this appointment.
Within 1-2 weeks, your veneer should arrive at the office and your final appointment can be scheduled. Your dentist will place the veneer over your teeth and make adjustments to the shape, fit and color. Then they’ll apply cement to your teeth and place your veneer in its permanent position.
