Why Cosmetic Dental Bonding?

What Is Cosmetic Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding is a procedure in which a tooth-colored resin (a type of durable plastic) is applied to the tooth and hardened with a special light, which ultimately “bonds” the material to the tooth to restore or improve person’s smile. Bonding is done to repair a decayed, chipped, fractured, discolored tooth. If you live in Valley Streamwill then harden the resin using ultraviolet light. Once the resin has hardened, the last step is to make sure that the tooth looks correct. The final step is to polish the tooth. Anyone interested in dental bonding should be aware that resin can stain and is most likely to do so within the first few hours after treatment. This is why it’s important that you avoid drinking liquids like coffee, tea, or red wine. You should also not smoke during this time.
