Improve Your Smile with Cosmetic Tooth Bonding

Do you have a chipped, cracked, misshapen, or decayed tooth that makes you feel self-conscious when you smile? These are common cosmetic issues that Western Slope Dental Center can repair withtooth bonding in Grand Junction CO.

This cosmetic enhancement costs less than other procedures, lasts for several years, and is completely reversible. Since our dentists do not remove any tooth enamel, you can request to have the bonding removed later if you wish. Temporary restorations can be ideal for kids and teenagers whose teeth are likely to change shape and position before adulthood.

Cosmetic Tooth Bonding Materials

Dr. Brandon Berguin, Dr. Kira Funderburk, or Dr. William Berguin start the process by applying cosmetic resin containing a mixture of glass and plastic to the tooth requiring treatment. We do our best to make sure that our composite resin materials are as close to the same shade as your natural teeth as possible. The material quickly bonds to your teeth to cover the imperfection, hence the name cosmetic tooth bonding.

What to Expect During This Popular Cosmetic Dentistry Procedure

Tooth bonding typically takes less than one hour to complete because it does not involve any lab work or removal of enamel. Your dentist starts the procedure by cleaning your tooth and then applying the bonding material to it. Next, your dentist etches an acidic gel onto the tooth to fill its pores, followed by several layers of bonding material.

For the last step, your dentist shines a curing light over the tooth to speed up the process of the materials hardening. After trimming excess bonding material from your tooth, your dentist polishes it one last time before finishing the procedure.
