Dental bonding can offer oral health benefits and protect teeth from damage, but many dental professionals recommend it to patients due to the range of cosmetic benefits this treatment has to offer. By understanding the ways dental bonding can improve the appearance of your teeth and give you a better smile, you can decide whether it is right for you.
Many choose dental bonding as a more affordable and less invasive alternative to veneers, but they actually offer many of the same quality benefits. Among the most notable cosmetic benefits of dental bonding are a brighter smile, more even teeth and improved tooth size and shape.
Teeth stains can cause significant cosmetic concerns. If stained teeth become more severe, then professional teeth whitening may not be enough to improve the shade. In these instances, dental bonding may be a more appropriate solution. During the bonding process, dentists can match the shade of the dental bonding material to natural teeth, which provides the patient with a bright smile that gives them more confidence. Additionally, the bonding material can protect teeth that have weakened enamel.
The first instinct of many who have uneven and misshapen teeth is to visit the orthodontist. Although more severe instances of uneven teeth may require braces or clear aligners, teeth that are only mildly misshapen can often be improved through dental bonding. This is because dentists can apply the composite resin material in a manner that makes misshapen and uneven teeth appear straighter. Each treatment is tailored to meet the specific needs of the patient.
Dental bonding can also improve the look of teeth by lengthening teeth that are too short. Teeth may naturally be too short, or they may appear the wrong size due to chips, cracks and the effects of teeth grinding. Additionally, dental bonding can fill in minor gaps between teeth by making teeth appear slightly wider. Many feel more confident when they have a complete smile with little to no additional space between teeth, and dental bonding is a safe and effective way to accomplish this.
Dentists apply the composite resin material during dental bonding in a manner that allows for a clean and smooth look when finished. They can ensure that the edges of the teeth look great and that the teeth appear natural. The smooth appearance with dental bonding not only offers cosmetic benefits, but it may also help prevent a buildup of food particles, bacteria and eventually plaque on the surface of teeth as well, which can offer oral health benefits.
