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.
