What Is Tooth Bonding?

How tooth bonding from your dentist in Scarsdale, New York can repair your smile.

You’ve probably heard about tooth bonding, but you may not know how it can help your smile. The truth is, tooth bonding is the easy way to repair your smile. Dr. Jeffrey Pike at The Scarsdale Dentist in Scarsdale, New York offers a wide selection of cosmetic dentistry services, including tooth bonding to repair your smile.

So, what is tooth bonding? It’s a cosmetic dental treatment to repair damage or aesthetic issues with your smile. The procedure is one of the most versatile treatments in dentistry because it can correct so many issues, including:

  • Repairing small chips or tooth wear
  • Fixing cracks or fracture lines
  • Restoring small areas of lost tooth structure
  • Covering up areas of discoloration or enamel defects

Tooth bonding can also be used to correct some small alignment issues, like:

  • Making slightly crooked teeth appear straighter
  • Minimizing the appearance of slight tooth overlap
  • Filling in small gaps between teeth

Tooth bonding uses a material called composite, which is a liquid resin. The composite is sculpted into the normal contours of your teeth and then hardened with ultraviolet light. The result is a durable, natural-looking restorative treatment.

Tooth bonding is one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments because it is:

  • Natural-looking; the composite can be matched to the color of your tooth, which means after the bonding is complete, it blends right in with your smile.
  • Non-invasive; tooth bonding does not remove any tooth structure, instead, it rebuilds your tooth.
  • Quick; most treatments can be done in only one appointment.

Tooth bonding can be combined with other procedures like reshaping and recontouring, to give you a more even, beautiful smile. You can also choose to combine it with several cosmetic dentistry services, to give yourself a total smile makeover.

Tooth bonding can give you the smile you deserve, quickly and easily. To find out more about tooth bonding and other cosmetic dentistry services, call Dr. Jeffrey Pike at The Scarsdale Dentist in Scarsdale, New York at (914) 725-0707. Call now and start working on your new smile today.
