Cosmetic Dental Bonding North Phoenix, Scottsdale AZ

A confident smile is a powerful asset, and dental bonding can play a significant role in achieving it. Dental bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves the application of a tooth-colored resin material to repair or enhance the appearance of teeth that are damaged or decayed. It is one of the most effective, minimally invasive ways to correct chipped, cracked, or stained teeth. Bonding can also close gaps between the teeth and smooth away pitting on the teeth’s surface.

What is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding restores damaged teeth using a composite resin material applied to the tooth’s surface. After the resin is applied, it bonds to the tooth’s surface and is sculpted by Dr. Campbell to improve the appearance and function of your teeth. At Sunrise Smile Design, we use the highest quality resin materials chosen for their durability and aesthetic qualities.

• Dental bonding can whiten teeth that have not responded to bleaching or whitening treatments.

Should I Consider Dental Bonding?

If you are self-conscious about cracked, chipped, or discolored teeth, bonding improves their appearance and restores the structure of the teeth, preventing additional damage. We can also enhance the color of your teeth by custom-blending a whiter, brighter resin material that closely resembles your natural enamel (but better!).

Dental bonding can also correct functional issues. Dr. Campbell can use the composite resin material to fill cavities and protect the dentin and pulp of the tooth from further damage. If a tooth’s root is exposed, dental bonding can protect the area and provide a more natural contour to the tooth.

The Dental Bonding Process

Dental bonding is a simple, painless procedure. Dr. Campbell performs a thorough dental examination at your initial consultation, including X-rays and 3D imaging. He will discuss your options and determine whether bonding is best for achieving your aesthetic goals.

Before beginning the treatment, Dr. Campbell selects a resin material closely matching the natural color of your teeth or a few shades lighter, depending on the desired results. The surface of the teeth is etched with a mild acid solution to encourage proper adhesion of the resin to the surface of the teeth.

The resin is carefully applied to the etched teeth in thin layers. Dr. Campbell shapes and sculpts the resin to achieve the desired contours and appearance. After the resin is shaped into its final form, ultraviolet light hardens and cures it. Once cured, Dr. Campbell trims the resin and smooths away any rough edges. The new teeth are then polished to match the texture and sheen of natural teeth.

Dental bonding is a versatile and quick procedure that can address various cosmetic issues, such as chipped or discolored teeth, gaps between teeth, or slightly misaligned teeth. It is a less expensive alternative to procedures like veneers or crowns and can provide excellent results when performed by a skilled dentist such as Dr. Campbell. However, it may not be suitable for more extensive dental issues or teeth requiring significant structural repair.

Limitations of Dental Bonding

While dental bonding is generally safe, potential complications include chipping, staining, or needing replacement over time. The lifespan of bonding can vary but typically ranges from 3 to 10 years, depending on factors like oral hygiene and lifestyle. Proper oral hygiene, including regular brushing and flossing, is essential for maintaining bonded teeth.
