Gapped Teeth? Consider Dental Bonding

Jul 11, 2022

In a survey performed by Cigna, 16% of those polled claimed their smile had a negative effect on their self-confidence. If you suffer from diastemata, or gaps between your teeth, you too may not often feel like smiling. Tooth gaps are a common problem, but can easily be rectified with dental bonding. If you are bothered with gaps between your teeth, here are some things you should know about dental bonding.

What Is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding involves the application of a tooth-colored resin directly to your teeth. It's then formed into the desired shape and cured with an ultraviolet light. The result is a strong, durable surface much like your own tooth enamel. 

In addition to performing like your own teeth, dental resin provides a very natural-looking appearance. So others may notice your improved smile, yet not be able to tell you have had a cosmetic dental procedure. 

Treating More Than Just Tooth Gaps

Many people choose dental bonding to help them eliminate the gaps between their teeth. Even so, that is far from being the only thing bonding is good for. Tooth bonding can actually resolve a number of issues, including:

  • Broken or chipped teeth
  • Irregular or misshapen teeth
  • Teeth that have become worn down or have their roots exposed

Benefits of Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is a very quick procedure that results in virtually no discomfort or downtime. It's also relatively inexpensive when compared to other cosmetic dental procedures. Teeth bonding can be used both as a permanent solution or as a temporary fix while you are waiting on veneers. If you are looking for a fast and easy way to resolve minor cosmetic issues, dental bonding is an excellent choice.
