Cosmetic Bonding Chicago

Dental Bonding Chicago It’s a simple fact that most people agree upon – dental flaws can be frustrating. Almost everyone would have a gleaming, gorgeous smile if they could. However, aging can cause damage and discoloration in the teeth, and if a patient neglects his or her dental care, it can compound the problem. Fortunately, Dr. Jessica T. Emery of Sugar Fix Dental Loft offers cosmetic bonding treatment to her Chicago, Illinois patients. Cosmetic bonding uses a special material that perfectly matches the patient’s natural tooth enamel; when applied to the teeth, it repairs problem areas, and makes teeth appear naturally brilliant and beautiful. Cosmetic bonding can work wonders to enhance the beauty of your smile, so you can be confident and feel fantastic. To learn more about cosmetic bonding, contact our Chicago dental loft today.

Cosmetic Bonding Procedure

The cosmetic bonding procedure takes place in just one simple appointment at our unique dental loft. While you are here you will feel relaxed and at-home, as our dedicated team does everything possible to make your visit a smooth one. After you meet with Dr. Emery to determine that cosmetic bonding is the right treatment for you, the procedure will go as follows:

The area of the tooth needing repair is lightly roughened.
Dr. Emery lightly etches the tooth’s surface with a special gel.
The cosmetic bonding composite, which consists of primer and resin, is applied to the tooth. Dr. Emery may administer several layers of the substance depending on your needs.
The material is sculpted accordingly to match the tooth’s shape.
A high-intensity light is applied to the tooth to harden the bonding material in place.
Dr. Emery examines the treatment area to ensure that it matches the color and details of your natural teeth.

Cosmetic bonding material is translucent, and made with special pigments that match the natural tooth enamel impeccably. You will leave our office with a bright, stunning, flawless smile.

Candidates for Cosmetic Bonding

During your initial consultation, Dr. Emery will examine your teeth and discuss your aesthetic goals to determine whether you are a good candidate for cosmetic bonding. Ideal candidates for cosmetic bonding include patients who wish to correct:

Small gaps between the teeth
Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
Badly discolored or stained teeth
Decayed areas on the teeth
Old silver fillings
Uneven teeth

Patients should also have realistic expectations of the treatment. While results can last for many years, proper oral hygiene, such as brushing and flossing regularly, is imperative, as are routine dental checkups. Additionally, some touch-up work may be necessary after approximately three to five years. Dr. Emery also recommends using non-abrasive toothpaste, and avoiding eating too many sweets or starchy foods.

Risks or Side Effects of Cosmetic Bonding

There are no major risks or side effects associated with cosmetic bonding treatment. Patients may experience some minor discomfort immediately following the procedure, which can be relieved with over-the-counter pain medication.
