Gaps, chips, or cracks in your teeth sometimes appear to be the worst at times because of their visibility. However, there are effective dental solutions that can help you perfect that smile. One of the popular dental treatment options in cosmetic dentistry in Miami, FL, is resin bonding. It is a pain-free treatment that does not require any complicated procedures. As one of the most versatile treatments in cosmetic dentistry, it can prove to be a very fine correction for having these issues treated and your natural teeth restored. Resin bonding at Sharp Dentistry & Associates is a great way to help you achieve a beautiful, healthy smile.
What is Resin Bonding?
Resin bonding is a form of cosmetic dentistry where a tooth-colored resin material is applied to the tooth’s surface to cover imperfections. It molds and shapes very easily so that it can blend with your natural teeth, hence a great option for fixing minor aesthetic issues such as:
Gaps between the teeth
In resin bonding, small gaps between the teeth can be closed, further creating a uniform smile.
Chipped teeth
The resin bonding can quickly restore the shape and function of a chipped tooth.
Cracked teeth
Bonding can repair small cracks, preventing further damage, while improving the tooth’s appearance.
The procedure is quick, painless, and usually requires no anesthesia. In one visit, you walk out of the office with a noticeably better smile.
How Resin Bonding Is Completed Initial Consultation
At your first visit to Sharp Dentistry & Associates, the dentist will evaluate your teeth and determine if resin bonding may be the best option for your particular case. Resin bonding is appropriate for smaller defects, but is not ideal for larger defects that require crowns or veneers.
Preparation
Compared to other cosmetic dentistry procedures, prep work for resin bonding is very minimal. Your dentist can just use a mild etch on the tooth’s surface to create an excellent bonding surface for the resin.
Application of Resin
Thereafter, the dentist applies the tooth-colored resin material. The color of the resin is carefully selected to blend perfectly with your natural teeth shades so that the result looks seamless.
Shaping and Modeling
Soon after, the dentist will then shape and model the resin to a point where it gets to look close to how you want. To fill in the gap, repair a chip, or even correct a crack, the resin will be molded with such caution to bring your teeth back into their natural contour once more.
Curing
After the resin has perfectly molded into the shape, it dries under a special ultraviolet light. It takes only a few seconds to harden the bond, therefore leaving it very strong and effective.
Polishing
The bonded tooth is polished to have a naturally smooth finish that blends in with your smile by matching the sheen of your surrounding teeth.
Benefits of Resin Bonding Affordability
Resin bonding is one of the most affordable cosmetic dentistry procedure available. It will cost less than veneers or crowns and can be afforded by vast patients.
Quick treatment
Most resin bonding procedures can be completed in a single visit, often less than an hour, depending on the number of treated teeth.
Minimally Invasive
Resin bonding does not require much to no structural disturbance of the teeth, leaving you with a lot more of your natural enamel compared to other treatments.
Versatility
From closing gaps, to filling in chips and cracks, resin bonding can fix a variety of minor imperfections in the dental structure.
