Broken teeth can reduce your urge to smile and decrease your self-confidence. Teeth can become broken due to accidents, injuries, or weakness from tooth decay. Modern dentistry provides the opportunity to restore damaged teeth to resemble natural teeth. Dental bonding is used to repair cracks and broken sections of damaged teeth. The bonding is a cosmetic procedure that corrects tooth damages without the need for complex dental treatments. Our Commerce dentist uses dental bonding to restore and replace damaged sections of your teeth.

What is Dental Bonding?

When teeth are cracked or broken, the exposed tooth section is covered with a strong dental composite resin. The resin is selected to match the current color of each tooth. The resin is applied and hardened with a curing light. The dental bond can be polished to closely match the existing look and shape of surrounding teeth. The bonding is used as a permanent restoration for damages to your teeth. The dental bonding provides a strong exterior structure for the tooth preventing further decay or damage. Dental bonding is completed accurately and precisely by our Commerce dentist.

The Benefits of Dental Bonding

Dental bonding restores only the broken or cracked sections of your teeth. Dental bonding preserves the original tooth by providing permanent coverage to the damaged area. Dental bonding can be used on both upper and lower teeth. The bonding does not decrease gum stimulation and does not require a change in your diet to compensate for hard to chew foods. Dental bonding is completed faster when compared to additional cosmetic dentistry procedures. Our Commerce dentist recommends dental bonding to restore cracks, spacing, or broken sections of your teeth.

Dental Bonding Compared to Dental Veneers

For simple restorations, dental bonding is an excellent choice. Dental bonding can be used to repair one or more of your teeth. The dental bonding requires no additional ceramic or porcelain crafting before application. Dental veneers require precision porcelain crafting and cover the entire tooth exterior. Our Commerce dentist uses dental bonding to provide a fast and effective cosmetic restoration to your broken or cracked teeth.
