Dental bonding is a versatile and minimally invasive cosmetic dental procedure that can dramatically improve the appearance of your teeth. The process involves the application of a tooth-colored resin to the tooth, which is then hardened with a special light. This effectively bonds the material to the tooth to improve its overall appearance. Dental bonding is an excellent option for those who have discolored, chipped, or slightly misaligned teeth. It's a simple, cost-effective procedure that can be completed in just one visit to our Lancaster, SC practice.

Why Should I Get Dental Bonding?
If you're unhappy with the appearance of your teeth, dental bonding may be the perfect solution. It's a quick and painless procedure that can correct a variety of dental imperfections. Dental bonding can fill in gaps between teeth, change the shape of a tooth, or cover up discoloration. It can also be used to make teeth appear longer or to cover exposed roots caused by gum recession. Plus, the composite resin used in dental bonding can be closely matched to the color of your existing teeth, ensuring a natural-looking result.

The Dental Bonding Treatment Process
Preparation
During the initial preparation stage, Dr. Gorospe will select a composite resin color that closely matches the color of your existing teeth. No anesthesia is usually required unless the bonding is being used to fill a decayed tooth.
Bonding Application
Dr. Gorospe will then apply the composite resin to the tooth. He'll mold and smooth the resin until it's the proper shape. This step requires precision and artistry to ensure the bonded tooth looks natural and blends seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.
Hardening Process
Once the resin has been properly shaped, Dr. Gorospe will use a special light to harden the material. After the resin has hardened, he'll make any final adjustments to ensure a perfect fit and polish the tooth to match the sheen of the rest of your teeth.
