Are you tired of hiding your smile due to chipped, discolored, or misshapen teeth? Dental bonding might just be the solution you've been searching for. This popular cosmetic dental procedure uses a tooth-colored resin material that is applied to your teeth and hardened with a special light, ultimately bonding the material to the tooth to improve your smile. Dental bonding is a simple, cost-effective, and minimally invasive treatment option that can provide significant aesthetic improvements in just one visit to Dr. Schuyler at Franklin County Dental and Implants.
Choosing dental bonding has numerous advantages. Firstly, it's a highly versatile treatment, capable of correcting various cosmetic dental issues, from repairing decayed teeth to changing the shape of teeth. Secondly, dental bonding is less extensive and requires less enamel removal than crowns or veneers. Lastly, it's a quick procedure, typically completed in one appointment, saving you both time and the inconvenience of multiple visits. Dental bonding can be a game-changer, transforming your smile and boosting your self-confidence.

Dental bonding can dramatically enhance the appearance of your smile. Whether you have a chipped tooth, a gap between your teeth, or a discolored tooth, dental bonding can correct these issues, resulting in a more uniform and attractive smile.
Unlike other restorative procedures, dental bonding requires minimal alteration of your natural tooth. The procedure involves applying a resin material to the tooth's surface, which means your natural tooth structure remains largely intact. This is beneficial for the long-term health and strength of your teeth.
Dental bonding is a quick procedure, often completed in less than an hour per tooth. It's also pain-free. Most patients require no anesthesia unless the bonding is being used to fill a decayed tooth. It's a hassle-free solution to improve your smile.
The first step in the dental bonding process is the preparation of the tooth. Dr. Schuyler will select a composite resin color that closely matches the color of your natural teeth. No anesthesia is usually required unless the bonding is being used to fill a decayed tooth. Dr. Schuyler will use a shade guide to ensure the most natural-looking match, and will carefully clean the tooth surface to remove any debris or plaque that could interfere with the bonding process. This preparation phase also includes protecting other teeth and gums to ensure precise application.
Next, Dr. Schuyler will roughen the surface of the tooth and apply a conditioning liquid. These steps help the bonding material adhere to the tooth. The tooth-colored, putty-like resin is then applied, molded, and smoothed to the desired shape. During this phase, Dr. Schuyler uses specialized tools to carefully sculpt the resin, ensuring it addresses specific cosmetic concerns while maintaining proper tooth proportion and alignment. Multiple layers may be applied to achieve the ideal shape and coverage.
The last step involves hardening the resin material. Dr. Schuyler will use a special light to harden the material. Once the material is hardened, he will further trim and shape it, and then polish it to match the sheen of the rest of the tooth's surface. This final polishing phase is crucial for achieving a natural appearance and comfortable feel. Dr. Schuyler will check your bite alignment and make any necessary adjustments to ensure the bonded tooth functions properly with your other teeth. The entire procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes per tooth, and you can eat and drink normally the same day.
