Is Dental Bonding Right For My Smile?

If you want to improve the appearance and function of your smile, you may want to consider dental bonding. Dental bonding is an additive dental procedure that is designed to enhance the appearance of your smile. A dentist uses tooth-colored resin to change the color, shape, or overall look of your natural teeth. In most cases, bonding can be completed in just one short visit to our Fox Lake, IL dentist office. To learn more about dental bonding and how it can transform your smile, contact Infinity Dental Fox Lake for a cosmetic consultation.

What is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding is a simple cosmetic procedure that uses composite resin and basic dental technology. The composite resin is a color match to find the perfect shade for your smile. The goal is to choose a shade that blends naturally with your existing teeth. Once we find the shade that works best for you, the resin is carefully applied to the affected tooth and molded until the desired shape is reached. After the resin is shaped, we use a special light to cure the resin into place so that it fits comfortably over your teeth. If necessary, we will carefully shape the resin and removed any extra pieces to ensure that your smile meets your cosmetic goals.

How Do I Take Care of a Bonded Tooth?

Taking care of a bonded tooth is similar to caring for your natural teeth. You just need to brush and floss your teeth on a daily basis and eat a healthy diet that complements your oral and overall health. Be sure to schedule a routine visit with our team. During your appointment, we can assess the condition of your smile and recommend any needed dental treatments. Our goal is to help you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile with dental care that is personalized to your needs.
