Brock Lynn offers dental bonding to his Dallas, Texas patients as a fast, efficient and minimally-invasive way to treat minor cosmetic issues and decay. If you have been hesitant to receive dental treatment for flaws in your smile, and would like to learn more about dental bonding, contact Lynn Dental Care today.
What is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding is a treatment which uses a composite resin material to repair damaged or decayed teeth in one office visit. It can be used to treat a variety of dental problems including cracks, stains, or unevenness in the teeth, as well as minor decay on the front teeth. The plastic used in dental bonding mimics the appearance of enamel, making bonding a preferable alternative to silver mercury fillings. Bonding can also be used to alter the shape of the teeth, closing gaps or lengthening the teeth to counteract a “gummy” smile.
Patients can undergo dental bonding treatment in one visit to Dr. Lynn’s Dallas office. Dr. Lynn will first prepare the tooth for treatment by removing any decayed material from the affected area. He will then remove a thin layer of enamel to make room for the resin material. After applying the bonding material, Dr. Lynn will shape the resin to achieve a natural-looking result. Once he has achieved the desired look, he will harden the material using a special light, finalizing treatment. Depending on the number of teeth being treated, dental bonding can be completed in less than one hour. The results of treatment are immediately noticeable, and patients can return to their routine directly after their appointment.
The Benefits of Dental Bonding
As a multi-purpose cosmetic and restorative dental treatment, dental bonding offers many benefits to patients who suffer from imperfections in their smile. One of the main benefits of dental bonding is that it is a fast way to treat a variety of issues including stains, cracks, or minor cavities. Other benefits of dental bonding include:
- Natural-looking results
- Effective alternative to more expensive treatments such as crowns,veneers, or teeth whitening
- Preserves natural tooth structure
- Pain-free procedure
- No dietary changes needed – patients can enjoy regular food and drink without worrying about discomfort or damage
- Long lasting – most restorations last for up to 10 years without further treatment
Although many people see dental bonding as a cosmetic procedure, the treatment goes a long way toward preserving your overall oral health. By closing gaps in between the teeth and eliminating decay, dental bonding reduces instances of plaque buildup and promotes the health of surrounding teeth and gums.
