What is Cosmetic Bonding?

Cosmetic bonding is a service that places tooth-colored resin on your teeth. In doing so, it effectively hides your smile’s minor flaws (small stains, chips, cracks, etc.) from view. That means you’d leave treatment with a touched-up grin anyone would admire!

Here at Dr. Ruiz’s office, cosmetic bonding only takes one or two dental visits. It usually starts by cleaning the relevant teeth and getting rid of their damaged or decayed parts. Once those steps are done, we apply and sculpt the tooth-colored resin onto your enamel. Treatment then concludes by polishing your teeth and making a few last-minute adjustments.

Who is a Good Candidate for Cosmetic Bonding?

You have a very good chance of qualifying for cosmetic bonding; it just requires that patients sport fairly healthy smiles. That being said, treatment does suit some people more than others. Bonding work isn’t quite as helpful for folks with major smile flaws – deep stains, severe chips or cracks, etc.

All in all, the best candidates for dental bonding have one (or more) of the following:

  • Slightly-Gapped Teeth
  • Enamel with Small Chips or Cracks
  • Light to Moderate Tooth Stains
  • Oddly-Shaped or Malformed Teeth
  • Teeth That Seem Short or “Stubby”

You’ll need to visit Dr. Ruiz before you commit to anything. By performing a close oral exam, he can confirm whether cosmetic bonding truly suits your smile. He’ll then use his findings to draft a custom treatment plan that’s just right for you.

The Benefits of Cosmetic Bonding

Even if it’s best for small flaws, cosmetic bonding has plenty of big benefits. Some of the most common ones are:

  • Smooth Dental Work – Cosmetic bonding is one of the smoothest dental procedures around. In most cases, our office can get it done in just one visit!
  • Versatile Effects – The resin for cosmetic bonding can cover the whole fronts of teeth. To that extent, it’s able to treat tooth stains, chips, cracks, misalignments, and more.
  • Easy Maintenance – It’s a simple matter to maintain cosmetic bonding results. By brushing twice daily, flossing once daily, and rinsing often, you can enjoy effects that last 3-10 years.
  • Cost-Effective Care – Modern cosmetic bonding is highly cost-effective, as it combines a low price with quality results.
