Dental Bonding St. Charles IL
Bonding is an alternative to veneers and can be used as a restorative procedure for teeth that are chipped, cracked, discolored or to close spaces between misarranged or misaligned teeth.
How does it work?
The tooth is prepared for the procedure by lightly etching the surface and applying a bonding liquid. Once the liquid sets, a plastic resin is applied and sculpted into the desired shape by the dentist. Once set, the resin is trimmed, smoothed and polished to a natural appearance. For more information please read out blog post Bonding Can Restore A Beautiful Smile.

Considerations
The bonding procedure can often be completed in a single office visit, and can improve the appearance of a tooth significantly. However, since the plastic resin used is not as strong as your natural tooth enamel, it is more likely to stain, chip or break than natural teeth. Bonding typically lasts three to five years before need of repair.
