Some of these instances include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Repairing a chipped or cracked tooth<\/li>\n<li>Restoring the look of discolored or stained teeth<\/li>\n<li>Correcting the spacing between teeth<\/li>\n<li>Changing the shape of a tooth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With <strong>cosmetic or dental bonding<\/strong>, Dr. Carmen will first need to slightly roughen the exterior of the existing tooth in order to provide the proper surface for the bonding material to adhere. Then a tooth-colored resin material is applied to the tooth. The resin is molded and smoothed to the desired shape. A special ultraviolet light that \u201cbonds\u201d the resin to the tooth hardens the material. Dr. Carmen will further shape, trim and polish the bonded material to match the appearance of the rest of the tooth, thereby restoring your tooth and improving your smile.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advantages of Cosmetic Bonding<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The first advantage of <strong>cosmetic bonding<\/strong> is that the procedure can usually be completed in a single visit, unless several teeth are involved. Secondly, cosmetic bonding rarely even requires local anesthesia. Finally, when compared to other cosmetic dental procedures such as veneers or crowns, cosmetic bonding is relatively inexpensive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Call the Office of Dr. Carmen Today<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whether you just noticed that chipped tooth or you have a tooth that has been bothering you for a while, cosmetic bonding may be just the solution you\u2019re seeking.
