Dental Bonding in Spotsylvania, VA

Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you. If you want to improve your smile and get that perfect pearly white look, dental bonding may be just what you need. At Smile Lake Anna, we offer cosmetic bonding in Spotsylvania, VA, to help you achieve the beautiful smile you deserve.

What is Tooth Bonding?

Tooth bonding, also known as composite bonding, is a dental procedure used to repair chipped or discolored teeth. The process involves applying a thin layer of composite resin material directly onto the affected area of the tooth. This helps strengthen the damaged area while restoring its appearance.

Tooth bonding can correct a number of dental issues, including:

  • Fixing minor spaces between teeth
  • Fixing the sharp edge of a broken tooth
  • Giving uniformity to the shape of teeth
  • Evening the color of the tooth surface
  • In some cases, can fix a decayed tooth

The Dental Bonding Procedure

Before beginning the dental treatment, our dentist will clean the area where the bonding agent will be placed. We will then prepare the area by removing any debris or tartar build-up.

Next, we will use a special adhesive to attach the bonding resin to your natural tooth.

Finally, we will polish the teeth. After this step, the composite resin should appear smooth and shiny.

After placing the composite resin, we will carefully remove any excess material using a scalpel and harden the tooth-colored resin using a special curing light.

Once the adhesive has dried, we will carefully place the composite material over the affected area. The composite resin should completely cover the crack or chip.

Caring for Your Bonded Teeth

It is important to take proper care of your bonded teeth. You should continue with your normal oral health care routine, including daily brushing and flossing. 

You should avoid eating sticky foods like gum or candy because these could cause the composite resin to break down prematurely. In addition, you should not chew hard objects like ice cubes so as not to wear down the surface of your teeth.

Most importantly, make sure to schedule regular dental visits and maintain good oral hygiene to keep your healthy smile looking good for many years.
