Dental Bonding

Teeth are one of the most important components of the body and fill a wide variety of roles throughout the years.  In addition to being an integral part of one’s appearance, teeth that are damaged can have a huge impact on one’s ability to eat and speak.  This is why it is important for all patients to immediately seek out treatment in the event of fractures, cracks or chipping.  For those that do make that call to our Culver City dentist in order to treat these types of damage or even gaps in between the teeth, dental bonding remains one of the most effective and popular choices.

No matter how careful an individual remains with the health of their mouth and the appearance of their teeth, it will never take much for one to look in the mirror and notice that their smile has been damaged.  One of the most common causes for damage to one’s teeth comes down to physical activities.  While protective gear is always important, even those that wear mouth guards, masks, and helmets can still chip and crack their teeth.

This condition can also happen due to pressure on the teeth, typically from chewing on harder objects such as nails, pens, and teeth.  Whatever may have caused the damage to occur, dental bonding remains one of the quickest and most pain-free treatments for these patients.  For those that do give us a call to help them transform their smile, this process can often be carried out in a single, short visit to our office.

We will begin our dental bonding treatment by examining the area that has been damaged or the gaps between the teeth, and then applying a minor abrasive to the outer surfaces.  This is done to provider for a better attach of the durable composite.  We can then mold the bonding material, restoring the function of the teeth as well as the appearance of the smile.

If proper care is taken, this bonding will last for years on end, completely transforming the patient’s appearance.  Contact our office today to see if this advanced treatment option may be right for you.
