One of your most important physical attributes is your smile, and even minor flaws can impact how you feel about it. Dental bonding in Danville, VA, is a versatile cosmetic procedure that makes your smile more visually appealing often in a single visit, which allows you to enjoy a beautifully improved smile far more quickly!

What Is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding fixes minor flaws in your teeth by applying a resin material that matches your tooth's color. After being applied to the damaged areas, this resin is shaped and polished to blend in perfectly with the neighboring teeth. It usually doesn't involve any drilling or major changes to the structure of your teeth.

Treatment Overview

• Consultation: The bonding process begins with a thorough consultation with our friendly and attentive dentist. During this visit, the dentist will evaluate your teeth, discuss your cosmetic goals, and determine if bonding is the proper treatment for you.
• Tooth Preparation: Once bonding is confirmed as a suitable option, our dentist will prepare your tooth by lightly etching the surface to ensure the bonding material adheres properly.
• Application of Bonding Material: Our dentist will apply the resin to your prepared tooth which is then carefully shaped and molded to match the natural contours of your tooth and blend in effectively with the surrounding teeth.
• Curing and Polishing: After the application and shaping, a special light is used to harden the material. Once the bonding material is set, our dentist will polish your tooth to give it a smooth, natural finish.
• Final Adjustments: Our dentist will complete any necessary final adjustments to ensure the bonded tooth feels comfortable and looks fantastic.
