Rather than deep stains and large fractures, maybe your smile only has minor flaws. These could range from slightly yellow tooth enamel to small chips, cracks, or gaps in your grin. Still, the fact that the faults are modest doesn’t mean you can’t do something about them. You can rely on our practice’s cosmetic dental bonding in Winchendon for your smile’s final touch-up!

What is Cosmetic Dental Bonding?

Cosmetic dental bonding is a service that puts tooth-colored resin on your teeth. By doing so, it hides minor smile flaws – small stains, chips, cracks, etc. – beneath material that blends with your grin. This effect results in a touched-up smile you can be very proud of!

In general, cosmetic dental bonding only takes one or two dental visits. It usually starts by cleaning your flawed teeth and removing their decayed or damaged parts. From there, our team applies and sculpts the tooth-colored resin onto your enamel. The full bonding process then wraps up when Dr. Hakwati polishes your teeth and makes some last-minute changes.

Who is a Good Candidate for Cosmetic Dental Bonding?

You really don’t need much to qualify for cosmetic dental bonding. As long as the patient has a (relatively) healthy smile, almost any adult or teen today can get it. The only wrinkle is that treatment works best for those with small smile flaws; the bonding process isn’t as effective for major faults.

Given these facts, the best candidates for cosmetic dental bonding have issues like:

  • Slightly Chipped or Cracked Teeth
  • Teeth with Light to Moderate Stains
  • Slightly-Gapped Teeth
  • Oddly-Shaped Teeth
  • Short and/or “Stubby” Teeth

Don’t forget to consult us before you get this treatment. By closely assessing your smile, Dr. Hakwati can confirm whether cosmetic dental bonding is right for you. He’ll then draft a customized treatment plan for your smile’s needs.

The Benefits of Cosmetic Dental Bonding

While it may only fix small smile flaws, cosmetic dental bonding has top-tier benefits. Some of its most notable perks are the following:

  • Versatile Care – Cosmetic dental bonding is versatile, as its resin can cover the whole fronts of teeth. That means it’s suited to treating tooth stains, chips, cracks, misalignments, and more.
  • Easy Maintenance – All in all, it’s easy to maintain cosmetic dental bonding results. You can help its effects last 3-10 years with twice-daily brushing and once-daily flossing.
  • Smooth & Simple Treatment – When compared to other aesthetic dental options, cosmetic dental bonding is faster and less invasive. Our team can perform it in one smooth dental visit.
  • Cost-Effective Results – Despite its low price, cosmetic dental bonding has great and visible results. The treatment is thus highly cost-effective.
