Just pause for a moment and think about the most memorable smile you’ve ever seen. Probably it’s the smile of your spouse or your favorite celebrity. Whatever the case, we can gift you a smile just like that with cosmetic dental bonding from Maegan Elam, DDS & Associates. And the best part? You don’t have to break the bank to change your smile with dental bonding.

What is dental bonding?

Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure that involves the application of a composite resin material directly to your teeth. Bonding can remedy several teeth imperfections, including:

• Stained teeth
• Fractured or cracked teeth
• Minor gaps
• Slightly crooked teeth
• Slightly shorter teeth
• Decayed teeth

This is a fantastic way to improve the appearance and resilience of your teeth if veneers are out of reach. While it’s not as long-lasting as veneers, cosmetic dental bonding is an affordable treatment that can return your smile to its former glory.

Reasons to consider dental bonding

Dental bonding yields the following benefits:

• It’s affordable
• Fixes numerous teeth imperfections
• It usually requires just one dental appointment
• It’s minimally invasive
• Doesn’t require anesthesia in most cases

How does dental bonding work?

Unlike veneers, cosmetic dental bonding can be done in just one appointment, mainly if repairing one or a few teeth. Bonding involves little to no preparation of your teeth — just arrive at your appointment having flossed and brushed your teeth. If your teeth haven’t been cleaned professionally, have it done first before the procedure.

Dr. Maegan Elam selects a color that matches your teeth before preparing the bonding resin. The material is putty-like, meaning it can be molded into the intended shape. With cosmetic bonding, you don’t need anesthesia unless the damage on the tooth is near a nerve.

The bonding process starts with roughening the surface of your tooth, after which we apply a conditioning gel to enable the resin to stick to it. Then, Dr. Elam applies the resin, reshapes it, and uses UV light to cure and harden it. Finally, we smooth out and polish the repaired tooth until it looks and feels natural.
