Dental bonding is a versatile and minimally invasive cosmetic dentistry procedure that can significantly enhance the aesthetics of your smile. Performed by our skilled and experienced dentists, dental bonding involves the application of a composite resin material directly onto the tooth’s surface. This resin is initially soft and pliable, allowing Dr. Thomas Beague or Dr. Nick Simon to precisely shape and sculpt it to correct various imperfections in your tooth’s appearance.
The process typically takes just one visit to Family Dental Care of Elmont to complete, and it often requires little or no tooth preparation, ensuring a quick and comfortable experience for you. After the resin is expertly molded to your tooth, it is carefully hardened, trimmed and polished, resulting in a durable and aesthetically pleasing restoration that seamlessly blends with your natural smile.
There are several common reasons why our dentists might recommend dental bonding. It can effectively close gaps and spaces between teeth, improve the appearance of misshapen teeth, lighten stains or discoloration, and restore teeth that are chipped or cracked. To ensure a natural-looking result, we select a shade of composite resin that matches the color of your existing teeth. However, if you desire a brighter smile, we can use a slightly lighter shade to enhance your tooth color.
