Dental Bonding in Sacramento, CA
If you have minor imperfections in your teeth, dental bonding can provide a quick, affordable solution to restore the beauty and functionality of your smile. At East Sac Dental, we specialize in using dental bonding to correct issues such as chips, cracks, gaps, and discoloration. With our expertise and attention to detail, you’ll achieve a natural-looking, flawless smile in just one visit.
What Is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure that involves applying a tooth-colored resin to correct imperfections. The resin is shaped to match the natural contours of your teeth, then hardened with a special light to ensure a durable finish. Bonding can be used to address a variety of aesthetic concerns, providing a cost-effective alternative to more extensive procedures like crowns or veneers.
Benefits of Dental Bonding
- Quick and Simple Procedure: Dental bonding typically takes just 30 to 60 minutes per tooth, with no need for anesthesia in most cases.
- Natural Look: The resin is color-matched to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth for a beautiful, authentic result.
- Affordable: Bonding is one of the most cost-effective cosmetic dentistry treatments available.
- Versatile: It can fix a variety of issues, from chips and cracks to gaps and discoloration.
- No Enamel Removal: Unlike veneers or crowns, dental bonding requires little to no removal of your natural tooth structure.
Common Uses for Dental Bonding
- Chipped or Cracked Teeth: Bonding can restore the shape and function of damaged teeth.
- Gaps Between Teeth: Bonding can fill in gaps for a more even smile.
- Stained or Discolored Teeth: Mask discoloration or staining that doesn’t respond to whitening treatments.
- Misshapen Teeth: Improve the appearance of teeth that are irregular in shape or size.
- Tooth Sensitivity: Bonding can cover exposed tooth roots, reducing sensitivity.
