Dental bonding in Clifton is a versatile and non-invasive dental procedure that uses a tooth-colored resin to repair or improve the appearance of a tooth. The resin, which is similar in color and texture to natural teeth, is applied to the tooth and then hardened with a special light. This effectively bonds the material to the tooth to restore or enhance your smile. Dental bonding is often used to repair decayed, chipped, fractured, or discolored teeth. It can also be used to close spaces between teeth, make teeth look longer, or change the shape or color of teeth.
If you're unhappy with your smile because of minor imperfections such as chips, cracks, discoloration, or gaps, dental bonding might be the perfect solution for you. It's a cost-effective and quick procedure that can significantly improve the appearance of your teeth in just one visit. Unlike veneers and crowns, dental bonding requires little to no removal of enamel, making it a less invasive option. It's also a great option if you're looking for a temporary correction of cosmetic defects while you're considering more long-term solutions. Contact our Clifton dentist for more information!
Dental bonding can last up to 10 years with proper care!

Dental bonding can dramatically improve your smile by fixing minor cosmetic imperfections. Whether it's a chipped tooth, discoloration, or a gap between your teeth, dental bonding can rectify these issues, giving you a more uniform and attractive smile.
One of the major advantages of dental bonding is that it's a quick procedure that can be completed in one visit to the dentist. It typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes per tooth. Plus, unless bonding is being used to fill a decayed tooth, anesthesia is often not required.
Unlike other cosmetic dental procedures, dental bonding doesn’t require extensive preparation or enamel removal. This means that more of your natural tooth structure is preserved, which is always beneficial for your long-term oral health.
In the preparation stage, Dr. Constandelis will use a shade guide to select a composite resin color that closely matches the color of your natural teeth. This ensures that the bonding blends seamlessly with your smile.
Once the perfect shade is selected, the surface of the tooth will be roughened and a conditioning liquid applied. This helps the bonding material adhere to the tooth. The tooth-colored, putty-like resin is then applied, molded, and smoothed to the desired shape.
The resin is hardened with an ultraviolet light or laser. After the material is hardened, Dr. Constandelis will further trim and shape it, and then polish it to match the sheen of the rest of the tooth surface.
