Cosmetic Tooth Bonding in Rockford

Cosmetic bonding is a minimally invasive process that can be performed with a single visit. It can be used to enhance a patient’s smile, by addressing the following: 

• Fixing chipped teeth, covering holes, and repairing other superficial damage 
• Adding width to thin teeth or teeth that are set far from the rest
• Closing gaps between teeth 
• Adding height to short or eroded teeth
• Covering bruises or discoloration and improving the color of the teeth

Although cosmetic bonding is a non-invasive and straightforward procedure it is imperative that you work with an experienced dentist who can address your particular needs while helping you maintain a natural appearance. Cosmetic bonding requires both skill and artistry. The procedure begins with the dentist matching the resin to your teeth. The resin is then added to one tooth at a time and shaped as necessary to correct the imperfection. Once the dentist is satisfied with the appearance of the resin, it is hardened with the help of a special curing lamp. The procedure is completed by polishing the teeth to a sheen that closely resembles natural tooth color and translucency. There is no downtime associated with this treatment, which means you can resume your normal activities directly after the procedure.
