When it comes to cosmetic dentistry, there are all kinds of options for enhancing the appearance of your teeth. Veneers can be a good fit for those looking to make extensive changes to their grins, but what if you only want to make one or two improvements? For minor cosmetic flaws, Dr. Greenwood may suggest direct bonding, a relatively simple procedure that can leave you with a more confident smile in just one appointment! Call today if you’re interested in learning more about this procedure.
Direct bonding is a relatively simple cosmetic dental treatment that can be used to address a number of minor aesthetic imperfections. You may want to consider having it performed if:
When you visit us for direct bonding, we will apply a special tooth-colored resin to your teeth in order to cover the problem areas. The resin will look very natural due to being shaded to match the enamel. It will also be carefully sculpted to blend in with the rest of your smile.
One of the most important things to remember about direct bonding is that it’s intended to correct minor aesthetic flaws. If you want to undergo a more dramatic smile transformation, you may want to ask about having a different cosmetic dental treatment performed.
In the event that you do decide to pursue direct bonding, we will need to evaluate your oral health to confirm that you’re a candidate for the procedure. Trying to have cosmetic dentistry performed while you’re suffering from tooth decay or gum disease will only lead to further problems. That said, once your oral health issues have been properly dealt with, you can consider moving forward with direct bonding.
A successful direct bonding treatment will give you plenty of reasons to smile! Here are just some of the advantages to consider:
