dental bonding
The bonding procedure can usually be performed in the course of a single office visit. The surface of the tooth is lightly etched and a conditioning liquid applied. Once the liquid has set, the durable, tooth-colored plastic resin is applied and molded into the desired shape. After hardening, it is further trimmed and shaped, smoothed, and polished. Bonding is among the simplest and most straightforward of cosmetic dental procedures, and anesthesia is generally not required. Although not as stain-resistant or strong as crowns and veneers, depending on the extent of bonding and oral habits, bonding material can last up to ten years before touchup or replacement. ©2009-Present | West 10th Dental | Cosmetic Dentistry | 45 West 10th Street New York, NY | Web Site Design by Lookit |
Dental bonding may be considered in a variety of situations: to repair chipped or cracked teeth, to improve the appearance of discolored teeth, and to address cosmetic issues such as the length, shape, or spacing of teeth. |
