How Does Dental Bonding Work?

Dental bonding in Brooklyn, NY, is an affordable and non-invasive way to correct or conceal smile flaws. I can sculpt, fill, and blend out various tooth imperfections using composite resin- the same material used in tooth-colored fillings.

Typically, dental bonding can be completed in one or two dental visits, depending on your goals.

About Dental Bonding in Brooklyn

Dental bonding starts with an in-office consultation. At this visit, I’ll determine whether dental bonding can address your specific concerns.

Typically, dental bonding can conceal the following cosmetic issues:

  • Small gaps between teeth
  • Discolored teeth
  • Chips and cracks

If you’re a candidate for treatment, I use the tooth-colored composite to fill and conceal various smile issues. I then set the resin with a special dental light and finish it with a polish.

As with other cosmetic dentistry options, you can bond alone or incorporate it into a smile makeover, including teeth whitening, tooth replacement, tooth-colored restorations, veneers, and Invisalign.

Maintaining Your Results

Bonded teeth can stain just like untreated teeth. We recommend avoiding or lowering your intake of staining foods, including:

  • Bright drinks and sauces
  • Curry
  • Bright berries
  • Coffee and tea

If you do indulge, be sure to clean your teeth after.woman smiling with mirror | dental bonding brooklyn

It would be best if you also visited my Brooklyn dental office every six months for checkups and teeth cleanings. Also, don’t skimp on or skip regular brushing and flossing sessions. Try to brush and floss after every meal or at least twice daily for the best results.

Additionally, you should report oral health changes to your dentist sooner rather than later.
