Dental Bonding Mooresville NC

Dental Bonding is a possible alternative to porcelain veneers and can be used as a restorative procedure for teeth that are chipped, cracked, or discolored.

How does dental bonding work?

The tooth is prepared for Dental Bonding by lightly etching the surface and applying a bonding liquid. Once the liquid sets, a resin is applied and sculpted into the desired shape by the dentist. Once set, the resin is trimmed, smoothed and polished to a natural appearance.

Considerations for Dental Bonding

The bonding procedure can often be completed in a single office visit, and can improve the appearance of a tooth significantly. However, since the resin used is not as strong as your natural tooth enamel, it is more likely to stain, chip or break than natural teeth.
