Enhance Your Smile With Dental Bonding

A Fast, Affordable Option For Cosmetic Dentistry

Things like stains, gaps between your teeth, and uneven or misshapen teeth can make you feel self-conscious about your smile. But at Sweet Magnolia Dentistry, Dr. Jessica Burnett is here to help with composite dental bonding in Manchester, CT.

With dental bonding, you can cover up flaws in your smile, boost your confidence, and love your teeth once again. Best of all, this cosmetic procedure is totally non-invasive and usually takes only a single visit to Sweet Magnolia Dentistry.

What Is Composite Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding uses tooth-colored dental composite to enhance the appearance of your smile. This is very similar to the material that’s used for tooth-colored dental fillings. But instead of being used to fix a cavity, this material is applied to the outside of the tooth by Dr. Burnett to change its shape and size and cover up any cosmetic flaws.

Composite dental bonding is very versatile. It’s a great choice for treating gaps between teeth, uneven teeth, small teeth, minor chips, tooth stains, and a wide variety of other cosmetic flaws. As long as your smile is healthy, you are likely a good candidate for composite bonding in Manchester, CT!

The Benefits Of Dental Bonding

Spectacular results

If you’re not happy with your teeth, you may try to hide your smile. You might not show your teeth in photos, feel self-conscious when laughing or speaking around others, or even avoid eating around other people. But with dental bonding from Sweet Magnolia Dentistry, you can overcome your anxiety about your smile, feel confident about your teeth, and show off your best self.

No enamel removal required

Unlike veneers, there’s no need to remove any healthy tooth structure when you get dental bonding. It’s a purely additive process, which means you can preserve your natural enamel. It’s even possible to have the treatment reversed in the future if you change your mind! 

Affordable treatment

Compared to veneers, dental bonding is a faster and simpler process, which means it’s also less expensive. If you’re on a tight budget but you’d like to enhance your smile with cosmetic dentistry, composite bonding from Sweet Magnolia Dentistry may be a great option for you.

Takes only one visit

If you’d like to transform your smile quickly, dental bonding is a great choice. In many cases, it’s possible for Dr. Burnett to completely transform your smile in just one visit to Sweet Magnolia Dentistry. In contrast, it usually takes at least two visits with a waiting period of 3-4 weeks to get veneers.

What To Expect From The Dental Bonding Process

First, you’ll meet with Dr. Burnett at Sweet Magnolia Dentistry. During your cosmetic consultation, she’ll examine your teeth, discuss your smile concerns and goals with you, and help you determine if dental bonding is right for you. If you’re approved for treatment, here’s what you can expect from the dental bonding process:

  • Tooth preparation – Dr. Burnett will begin by cleaning up your tooth and applying a mild acid solution to the tooth. This roughens it up slightly, ensuring the composite bonding material can attach tightly to it. No numbing or drilling is required!
  • Composite bonding application – Next, Dr. Burnett will pick out some composite resin that matches the color of your teeth perfectly. She will apply it to your tooth, then use a variety of special tools to shape it and enhance your tooth’s appearance.
  • Hardening and trimming your tooth – Once the overall shape of your tooth looks right, Dr. Burnett will harden the bonding material using a UV light. Then, she will use a dental drill to gently trim, sculpt, and finalize the shape of the composite bonding material and your tooth.
  • Bite check and final touches – The last step is to check your bite, then make any necessary adjustments so that your new tooth fits into your mouth perfectly. Then, the entire process will be repeated if you’re getting dental bonding on multiple teeth. Once you’re finished, you’ll have a beautiful, picture-perfect smile!
