Repair and Enhance Your Smile with a Natural Touch
Dental Bonding in Tulsa
At Dieterlen Dental in Tulsa, OK, we offer dental bonding, a versatile and minimally invasive cosmetic dentistry procedure that can quickly repair and enhance your smile. Dental bonding, also known as composite bonding or tooth bonding, is a popular choice for addressing minor imperfections and achieving a more aesthetically pleasing smile through the application of a tooth-colored filling.
Dental bonding involves applying a tooth-colored composite resin restoration material to your teeth, sculpting it to the desired shape, and then hardening it with a special light. This process effectively “bonds” the resin to your tooth, seamlessly blending with your natural tooth structure, making it a popular choice for aesthetic bonding.
What Issues Can Dental Bonding Correct?
1
Chipped or Cracked Teeth
Dental bonding can repair minor chips and cracks, restoring the strength and appearance of your tooth.
2
Gapped Teeth
Bonding can close small gaps or spaces between teeth, creating a more uniform smile.
3
Discolored or Stained Teeth
Bonding can mask minor tooth discoloration that may not respond well to teeth whitening.
4
Misshapen Teeth
Bonding can reshape teeth that are too short, too narrow, or have an irregular shape.
5
Exposed Tooth Roots
Bonding can cover exposed tooth roots caused by gum recession, reducing sensitivity and improving aesthetics.
