Dental Bonding Process

Do your teeth feature small cosmetic flaws you are unhappy with? Minor flaws can make the smile and look unhealthy, and the person look less than put together. However because they are only small flaws that do not affect your dental or oral health, you might be unwilling to undergo extensive treatments to eliminate them. Our dentist in Agoura Hills offers a solution with dental bonding.

Dental bonding is a material that sticks to the teeth, filling in or covering damaged areas. It can be used to repair teeth that are:

·         Chipped

·         Cracked

·         Stained

·         Slightly crooked

·         Small

·         Misshapen

·         Gapped

·         And in some cases, broken

The process involves with dental bonding is simple. Our dentist will prepare the tooth by applying an etching liquid, used to roughen up the area. This allows the material to adhere better to the surface. The dental bonding is then applied in thin layers, and shaped to match the area. A special curing light is then used to harden it. Finally, is it further shaped, and then polished to match the surrounding dental enamel.

Our dentist can work with you to choose the color and shade of material you want. If you believe your smile could benefit from dental bonding, schedule an appointment today.
