Dental Bonding (Composite Resins)
|
If you're embarrassed about your smile because of decayed, disfigured or discolored teeth, you may be a good candidate for dental bonding (composite resins). A dental bonding is mixture of microscopic ceramic and glass particles dispersed in a plastic resin that can be bonded to teeth. The material comes in a wide range of shades and can be molded and sculpted to create almost any shape or contour. The fact that the resin is bonded means that a seal is formed to reduce the change of leakage, which is common with silver fillings. Dental bonding offers a non-invasive way to improve your smile.
Dr. Tran uses dental bonding to sculpt individual teeth with a special tooth-like material that looks, acts and feels like the real thing. Bonding is an affordable, quick and painless way to repair many cosmetic flaws or injuries. Bonding can quickly fill in ugly gaps between teeth and repair chips and cracks. Bonding by Dr. Tran is typically painless and can yield dramatic results in a single office visit. Essentially, bonding hides any natural flaws through the placement of a thin plastic coating on the front surface of the teeth. After treating the tooth surface, Dr. Tran applies a putty-like bonding material that is then sculpted, shaped and colored to suit the your needs. A high-intensity light causes the plastic to harden after which the new surface is smoothed and polished. Bonding can lighten stains, close gaps and even alter crooked or malformed teeth. Dr. Tran can even utilize it to change the shape or color of a single tooth or if necessary to remake your entire smile. |
