Fortunately, our Reno, NV dentist, Dr. Chelsea Dean offers dental bonding as a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure has revolutionized smile makeovers by providing a quick, affordable, and effective solution to various dental flaws.

What Is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding, also known as tooth bonding, is a cosmetic dentistry procedure that involves applying a tooth-colored resin material to the surface of a tooth. This resin is skillfully sculpted and shaped to correct imperfections, ultimately enhancing the tooth's appearance. Bonding is commonly used to address issues like chips, cracks, gaps, discoloration, and even to alter the shape of teeth.

How the Procedure Works

Frequently Asked Questions

Does bonding hurt?

No, dental bonding is usually a painless procedure. In most cases, anesthesia is not required unless the bonding is being used to repair a cavity. The process involves minimal discomfort, and patients typically experience no pain during the bonding procedure.

How long does bonding last?

With proper care and maintenance, dental bonding can last around 3 to 10 years. However, the lifespan of bonding materials can vary depending on factors such as oral hygiene practices, diet, oral habits, and the location of the bonded tooth in your mouth. It's important to follow your dentist's recommendations for oral care and attend regular dental check-ups.

Can bonded teeth stain?

Yes, bonded teeth can be susceptible to staining over time. While the resin used in dental bonding is designed to be stain-resistant, it is not as resistant to staining as natural tooth enamel. Over the years, exposure to certain foods and beverages that are known to cause staining, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco products, can lead to discoloration of the bonding material.

Is bonding reversible?

Yes, dental bonding is considered a reversible procedure. One of the benefits of dental bonding is that it involves minimal removal of natural tooth enamel. This means that the bonding process does not require significant alteration of your tooth's structure. As a result, if you decide in the future that you no longer want the bonded teeth or if you want to explore a different cosmetic option, the bonding material can be removed without causing extensive damage to your natural teeth.
