Dental bonding is a great option when you have imperfections with your smile that you want to correct. The same material that is used to create composite fillings, is used on your teeth, to give you a new look or shape. This material is strong, can match your current tooth color, and is able to be shined up so that it blends in seamlessly with your natural teeth. Here are some of the things that dental bonding can do to help improve the look of your smile.

Times Where Dental Bonding Can Make a Big Difference

If your teeth have decay, aside from just fillings, then you may be able to use dental bonding to help cover those imperfections. Some decaying teeth, even after they have been repaired, still have stains on them, which dental bonding can cover.

Teeth that get chipped or cracked can often be repaired through the use of dental bonding. The chips can be polished so they aren't sharp, and dental bonding can be used to build out the portion of the tooth that was lost from the chip and during the polishing process.

Gaps between your teeth can be filled in with dental bonding in many cases. The prosthodontist can fill in a bit of the gap from both of the teeth that surround the gap, allowing the gap to close with minor work to each surrounding tooth.

Teeth that came in with a slightly off shape can also be reshaped with the use of dental bonding. The material can fill in odd spots that didn't fill in fully before the tooth erupted.

To find out what other options you have when considering dental bonding, ask your prosthodontist. They can suggest fixes for some of the issues they know of that are currently going on in your mouth.
