You have a stubborn brown spot on your tooth. You\u2019ve tried whitening treatments again and again, but they just never seem to work. You don\u2019t need professional teeth whitening treatment from your dentist for just one little stain. If only there were an easy way to fix your tooth! Fortunately, there is \u2013 with cosmetic bonding<\/a> in Fort Worth. With this simple procedure, multiple kinds of flaws can be corrected, including stains. Continue reading to learn five reasons to get cosmetic bonding.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cosmetic bonding, also known as direct bonding, is a procedure wherein your dentist applies a cosmetic resin to your teeth. This material is highly malleable, so your dentist can use it to sculpt your tooth into the correct shape. Its color can also be changed to match the color of your existing tooth enamel or even appear lighter to counteract stains. Once the material has been applied, your dentist will use a curing light to harden it into place.<\/p>\n There are multiple reasons why you should elect to get bonding to fix issues with your smile, including:<\/p>\n Direct bonding typically doesn\u2019t take more than one appointment that lasts about 30 to 60 minutes per tooth. Compared to other procedures like crowns or porcelain veneers, which take two or more visits, direct bonding is pretty quick.<\/p>\n Maybe you have a tooth that\u2019s shorter than the rest and you want all of them to be the same length. Bonding can add material to the tooth to make it appear longer and more even.<\/p>\n If you have parts of your tooth enamel that are missing, direct bonding can fill those chips or cracks with composite resin that is indistinguishable from your natural enamel, restoring your tooth\u2019s structure and appearance.<\/p>\n Normally, the resin material is matched to your existing tooth enamel to blend in. However, if you have stubborn discoloration on your teeth, your dentist can correct that by affixing bonding material of a lighter shade to make your pearly whites shine a little brighter.<\/p>\n Composite resin is actually the same material used in tooth-colored fillings. Your dentist can use this material to fill your cavities as well as correct cosmetic flaws.<\/p>\n If you have one or more of the smile flaws listed above, don\u2019t hesitate to contact your local cosmetic dentist to schedule a consultation for direct bonding!<\/p>\n Dr. Renee Corbitt<\/a> graduated from the University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio Dental School with her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 1986.
