Composite tooth bonding is a conservative dental treatment option that is used to repair discolored, misshapen, chipped broken, or worn teeth. Dental bonding covers teeth for a whiter and smoother appearance. In addition, the bonding material that we use can protect damaged teeth from further injury. Columbia, South Carolina dentist Dr. Tom Trinkner utilizes this cosmetic treatment to help patients enhance the appearance of their smile. Dr. Trinkner works with patients individually to determine their goals, budget, and needs prior to their treatment.
All About Tooth Bonding
Dental bonding utilizes a composite resin and porcelain to match a treated tooth or multiple teeth to original teeth. To begin cosmetic bonding treatment, Dr. Trinkner removes a small portion of the enamel from the tooth to ensure that the resin can grab on. After he places the resin, he will mold it into the shape your teeth needs in order to function properly. The final result will blend in seamlessly with the rest of the tooth enamel.
Tooth bonding can last for ten years with the right care. Composite resin is durable, but not stain or decay-resistant. Be sure to continue to visit Dr. Trinkner for routine exams and dental cleanings following your treatment. In addition, dental bonding is often recommended for patients with minor cosmetic dental issues. If you have extensive damage, decay, or discoloration, we may recommend a dental filling, porcelain veneers, or teeth whitening.
