Cosmetic dentistry is growing in popularity as patients discover that there are more ways than one to drastically improve the appearance of your smile. Whether you’ve undergone extensive orthodontic treatment or not, there is a lot that can be done to the surface of the tooth to make it look its best, and at Gentle Smiles of Colorado, we recommend dental bonding, a very effective and less invasive alternative to porcelain veneers. For patients seeking cosmetic and periodontic dental care in Denver, CO, we’ve got you covered! Here are the top 5 benefits of dental bonding.
1) Repairs Chipped and Cracked Teeth
Dental bonding is a process where specialized resin is applied directly to the surface of your tooth’s enamel and then shaped, to correct a variety of aesthetic and practical tooth issues. Dental bonding is often used to repair chipped or cracked teeth, not only improving their appearance but strengthening them as well.
2) Closes Gaps Between Teeth
Dental bonds can be applied to subtly widen the teeth and close unsightly gaps between them. The resulting shapes will be subtle, natural, and proportional in appearance, but your smile will be much more even and attractive.
3) Corrects Stains and Uneven Tooth Color
For patients with stained or unevenly colored teeth, whether from coffee, tobacco, injury, or simply the passage of time, the resin used in your dental bonds can be shaded very carefully to perfect the color of your teeth without looking unnatural. For patients already satisfied with the color of their teeth, the dental bonds can be made to match the natural color exactly.
4) Perfects Tooth Shape
Crooked, misshapen, or broken teeth can be sculpted with dental bonding. Dental bonding allows some patients to completely avoid costly orthodontic treatment, it is so effective at correcting the appearance of their smile.
5) Less Invasive than Veneers
Unlike veneers, none of the natural teeth needs to be removed for the resin to be applied, making it a far less invasive way to achieve a gleamingly perfect smile.
