Dental bonding is one of the most diverse treatment options for your smile. We offer it as one of our cosmetic dentistry options in Burkburnett, TX. It can treat almost any cosmetic dental problem, including discolored teeth, worn-down teeth, or cracks and breaks in a tooth. 
Getting Teeth Bonding in Burkburnett, Texas
You can usually get dental bonding in just a single visit to our office. However, before we perform treatment, we’ll have a consultation to determine if this is the best option for you. We conduct a thorough oral exam and discuss your cosmetic goals and budget. While many patients qualify for this treatment, ensuring this is the correct treatment path is important.
Bonding a tooth only takes 30 minutes to an hour. If you’re getting multiple teeth bonded, we may need to schedule multiple appointments. First, we ensure the tooth or teeth we’re treating are properly clean to avoid any issues. We roughen the enamel surface to prepare the tooth so the bonding material adheres better. The dentist mixes the bonding material to match the shade of white you desire.
We mold the resin to fit your tooth or shape it out to refill a portion of your tooth that’s broken off. When you’re happy with the results, we use a special light to harden the material. Then, we polish it up to match the sheen of your natural teeth, blending in seamlessly.
The Benefits of Dental Bonding
A big benefit of dental bonding is that it can be used for many dental problems. While considered a cosmetic dental service, it can sometimes provide restorative benefits. If you have a discolored tooth, bonding material can cover the entire thing with a whiter color. For cracks or chips, the bonding material fills them in or restores the area of the tooth that broke off. It can also change the size and shape of your teeth and provide a natural-looking way to close gaps in the teeth.
Bonding is also a temporary and completely removable dental restoration. It’s a good option for trying out a cosmetic treatment to determine if it’s something that you want to keep permanently. Because it’s removable, it can be a treatment option for children, too. Dental care for younger patients can be difficult because we don’t want to hinder oral development with something permanent. This is safe for them.
Though it’s more temporary, bonding treatment can last a long time. The average time for bonding to last is around 3-7 years. The better you care for your restoration, the longer it’ll last. Your bonding material can last ten years or more with exceptional care.
The removable/temporary aspect also makes this treatment option more affordable. If you don’t have dental insurance coverage for bonding, it’s a treatment you can still afford without it. We want to ensure that you can get the dental care you need. Our office provides third-party financing options, too, if you need assistance.
