Dental Bonding Naperville IL

Dental Bonding can be used as a restorative procedure for chipped, cracked, discolored, or misaligned teeth and is an alternative to veneers.

How does dental bonding work?

The tooth is prepared for the procedure by lightly etching the surface and applying a bonding liquid. Once the liquid sets, the dentist applies a plastic resin and sculpts it into the desired shape. Once set, the resin is trimmed, smoothed, and polished to a natural appearance.

What to consider before dental bonding

• The dental bonding procedure can often be completed in a single office visit and can improve the appearance of a tooth.
• The plastic resin used is not as strong as your natural tooth enamel; it is more likely to stain, chip, or break than natural teeth.
• Bonding typically lasts three to five years before repair is needed.
