What is Dental Bonding?

Cosmetic dental bonding is a natural solution for damaged teeth. At the Anaheim dentist office of Dr. Patel, we specialize in this cosmetic treatment. Teeth bonding is very popular since it’s affordable, durable, and long-lasting. Bonding is also non-invasive, making it ideal for kids and adults with busy schedules.

Can Tooth Bonding Fix My Child’s Chipped Tooth?

For chipped teeth in kids, tooth bonding is a great fix and solution. As a cosmetic dentist, our office will apply the resin to your children’s teeth. Then we’ll shape the resin so that it resembles their natural tooth. Dr. Patel will match the resin color to your unique tooth’s color shade for perfect color blending. Please note that if your child’s teeth are still growing, a future visit will be necessary.

Cosmetic bonding can help with stained teeth. The bonding resin used can cover any unwanted teeth discolorations. Our office does recommend trying our teeth whitening procedure first.

How Long Does The Treatment Last?

Even though dental bonding isn’t permanent, it is a long-lasting solution. With proper care and good oral hygiene habits, your bonding can last ten years or more. It’s best to use soft toothbrushes to keep your bonding lasting years. Also, we recommend avoiding acidic foods to protect the resin — acidic foods such as coffees and red wines.
