What Is Dental Bonding?

What your dentist in Folsom, California wants you to know

Dental bonding is a dental procedure that can improve the look of your smile quickly and easily. In fact, dental bonding can enhance your smile in ways you never thought possible and in just one dental visit! Dr. Shaina DiMariano at DiMariano Family Dentistry & Orthodontics in Folsom, California, wants to share the facts about dental bonding.

Dental bonding begins with the application of etching gel, which creates small pore-like openings in the surface of your tooth to help retain the bonding material. A type of cement is applied, which creates a strong attachment of bonding material to your tooth. Next, is the bonding material, a liquid composite resin.

Composite is a unique material that can be color-matched perfectly to your existing teeth, providing a seamless look. Dr. DiMariano will skillfully shape and sculpt the liquid composite and then harden it with a high-tech ultraviolet light. As a final touch, she will polish your new bonding treatment to finish your perfect smile.

Dental bonding has changed the world of dentistry because now you can fix the look of your smile by repairing issues like:

• Excessively worn down teeth
• Cracked, chipped or broken teeth
• Small gaps between teeth
• Poorly shaped or discolored teeth

There are many advantages of dental bonding that can’t be matched by other cosmetic dental treatments. Compared to other cosmetic dental treatments, dental bonding is:

• Relatively inexpensive, usually far less than crowns, veneers or implants
• Relatively quick, typically requiring only one appointment
