Dental Bonding Explained By Our Toluca Lake Dentist

Written by Dr. McKay on Jan 16, 2024

There are certain dental treatments that are well known for their effectiveness and versatility. One of these treatments is dental bonding! Our Toluca Lake dentists have seen how transformative bonding can be and in a very short period of time. Keep reading to learn more about the bonding process and what it can accomplish.

Dental bonding refers to the process by which our dental team applies dental resin to the patient’s natural tooth structure. This treatment is used to:

  • Close gaps between teeth
  • Resurface stained or irregularly textured enamel
  • Correct minor dental damage, like cracks and chips
  • Make slightly misaligned teeth appear straighter
  • Lengthen disproportionately short enamel

One of the great things about dental bonding is that it can be completed from start to finish in just one dental appointment. Once our dentist applies the resin to your tooth and shapes it, we will cure it so that it hardens and bonds to your enamel. By the time you leave our office, you’ll have a transformed tooth, and you’ll be ready to jump back into your normal daily routine.

Every aspect of the dental bonding process is customizable. Our team will shade the resin that we use to match your tooth shade, exactly. And because resin is so malleable, we can shape and size it to fit your specific needs.

Another reason that so many people choose dental bonding is that it is less costly than many other aesthetic treatment options. Plus, if your bonding becomes damaged, our team can easily and quickly repair it; this is compared to porcelain veneers which must be completely replaced if they become damaged.

Our Toluca Lake dental bonding dentist is happy to give you any more information that you need about your restorative and aesthetic treatment options. You don’t have to spend tons of time and money in order to get the dental care that you need!
