The importance of a smile

Exactly what is cosmetic bonding?

Also called composite resin bonding, this simple aesthetic treatment uses a blend of glass particles and acrylic to reshape chipped, gapped, cracked and otherwise marred teeth. By visual inspection, Dr. Booker can tell you if this one-visit service can remake your smile.

Here's how it works. If you're a candidate for bonding, Dr. Booker lightly buffs the areas to be repaired. Then, he puts a special bonding liquid on the sites and applies the resin. He shapes the putty-like material to achieve a natural look. Then, he hardens the tooth-colored material with a curing light and polishes the surfaces to a high sheen.

Afterwards, be sure you brush twice a day with a soft brush and also floss daily. Your bonded teeth are stain-resistant, but limit tobacco, coffee and other staining foods. Pay particular attention to cleaning the gum line if your bonding repairs extend to these soft tissues.

Additionally, remember that composite resin is strong and will last for years, but don't abuse it. Avoid extra hard foods, and don't bite non-food items such as pencils.
