Dental Bonding is a process that can fix minor imperfections of the teeth. This is a great solution if you have gaps, cracks, chips or stains in your teeth. Dental bonding is a procedure that usually requires only one visit to the dentist. For the dental bonding treatment Dr. Sands will prepare the tooth by roughing up the enamel with phosphoric acid. A bonding agent is applied and acts as glue that holds the resin in place. Next, the tooth-colored resin is put onto the surface of the teeth to be treated and a special light is used to harden the material. Dr. Sands will then contour your teeth into the desired shape.

The resin becomes very hard just like your natural tooth enamel. It can fortify your teeth and may be helpful for someone with damaged or compromised tooth structure. Dr. Sands uses high intensity curing lights to make the procedure go even faster. The curing lights are shined onto the teeth to harden the dental bonding resin in a shorter amount of time, perfect for busy people with packed schedules.

Dental bonding is just one procedure available at Dr. Sands’ practice that can give you not only a healthier smile but a glowing smile.
