Dental Bonding
At Dr. Flynn-Nyktas' office we believe that everyone deserves a beautiful smile. Dental bonding is a highly effective restorative procedure that can help you achieve small cosmetic improvements in just one visit to our Summit dentist office. This technique involves the application of a tooth-colored resin to your natural teeth, which is then cured with a specialized ultraviolet light. As a result, dental bonding offers a faster and more cost-effective alternative to full crowns or veneers, making it an appealing option for many patients.
Why Choose Dental Bonding?
There are several reasons to consider dental bonding for enhancing your smile:
1. Cost-Effective: Compared to crowns and veneers, dental bonding is generally more affordable, making it an accessible choice for those looking to improve their smile without breaking the bank.
2. Quick Procedure: One of the significant advantages of choosing our Summit dentist for dental bonding is that the procedure can usually be completed within 30 to 60 minutes per tooth. This means you can achieve noticeable results in just one visit, making it ideal for those with busy schedules.
3. Less Tooth Structure Removal: Unlike crowns and veneers, which often require significant alteration of the tooth structure, dental bonding is a conservative treatment option. This means that less of your natural tooth is removed, helping to maintain the integrity of your smile.
4. Natural Appearance: The tooth-colored resin used in dental bonding can be expertly color-matched to your existing teeth, ensuring a natural look that seamlessly blends with your smile.
5. Versatile Applications: Dental bonding is not only used for cosmetic improvements but also for minor repairs, such as fixing chips, cracks, or gaps in your teeth.
How Dental Bonding Works
The dental bonding process typically involves a few straightforward steps:
1. Consultation: Our Summit dentist will first evaluate your teeth and determine the right shade of resin to match your natural tooth color.
2. Preparation: Dr. Flynn-Nyktas will prepare the affected tooth to ensure optimal bonding. This may involve roughening the surface to allow for better adhesion and applying a liquid conditioner to enhance bonding efficiency.
3. Application of Resin: The tooth-colored resin is carefully applied to the prepared area. Dr. Flynn-Nyktas will shape the resin to achieve the desired look before curing it with ultraviolet light.
4. Final Touches: Once the resin is hardened, she will polish and shape it for a perfect fit, ensuring your smile looks natural and aesthetically pleasing.
Ideal Candidates for Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is an excellent option for those seeking to address minor cosmetic imperfections. However, it is important to note that bonding may not be suitable for everyone. If you have extensive damage or require major restorations, our Summit dentist may recommend alternative solutions, such as crowns or veneers.
