Bonding

Dental Bonding in San Diego, CA

When you look at your teeth in the mirror, do you see nothing but their imperfections? While others may not notice them, you know the chips, cracks, or gaps exist. Fortunately, our dentist in San Diego, CA can improve the appearance of your teeth with dental bonding near you.

What is Bonding?

Dr. Shervin Moshashaei at bliss dental arts will use flexible composite resin to mold it to your teeth so that they can repair damages and change your teeth’s appearance. They can sculpt it to cover gaps between teeth, replace chips, or hide discolorations. They can also lengthen teeth that are too short. The other alternative would be to cap them, which is a more expensive procedure.

After using composite resin to improve your teeth, a curing light will harden them so that they will survive biting, chewing, and toothbrushing. When the process is over, most people will not be able to tell that you’ve had work on your teeth, and it can help patients like you get their confidence back so that you smile freely.

Is Bonding Long Lasting?

Teeth bonding in San Diego, CA, can last from three to 10 years, and our dentist near you can easily replace it if necessary. If something happens to the material, fixing it is as simple as removing the damaged composite resin and using more material to cover the original flaw. There are some things you can do to prolong the life of the material.

Increase Frequency of Toothbrushing

Although you should be brushing your teeth in the morning and before bedtime, after bonding, you should increase your brushing after every meal. Composite resin stains are easier than enamel, and brushing after eating will reduce the possible stains on your teeth.

Buy a soft-bristled toothbrush to brush your teeth gently. You can damage the material, as you can enamel, by pressing too hard when you brush your teeth. As always, continue using fluoride toothpaste to reduce the bacteria that causes cavities.

If you have flaws in your teeth that you find embarrassing, contact bliss dental arts to book an appointment with Dr. Shervin. He can use flexible composite resin to make your smile look as good as new.
