Dental Bonding in Waukesha, WI
Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure where a tooth-colored resin material is applied to the teeth and hardened with a special light, which ultimately bonds the material to the tooth to restore or improve a person’s smile. It is an ideal solution for minor dental repairs because it is less expensive and less invasive than other cosmetic dental procedures.
Benefits of Dental Bonding
- Versatile Treatment: Dental bonding can address a variety of dental issues including chipped, cracked, discolored, or misshapen teeth. It is also used to fill in gaps between teeth and protect exposed roots.
- Quick Procedure: Most dental bonding procedures can be completed in a single visit, typically in about 30 to 60 minutes per tooth.
- Cost-Effective: Dental bonding is one of the most affordable cosmetic dental treatments available, making it a popular choice for patients looking for a budget-friendly option.
- Minimal Tooth Enamel Removal: Unlike veneers or crowns, bonding requires only a slight removal of tooth enamel.
Common Uses for Dental Bonding
- Repairing Chipped or Cracked Teeth: Dental bonding can quickly repair damage and restore the natural appearance of your teeth.
- Improving Discolored Teeth: For teeth that are stained or discolored, bonding material can be shade-matched to your natural teeth, providing a significant aesthetic improvement.
- Cosmetic Improvements: Bonding can be used to change the shape or color of a tooth, making it a versatile tool for cosmetic dental enhancement.

How long does dental bonding last?
With proper care, dental bonding can last from 3 to 10 years before needing touch-ups or replacement. Longevity can be influenced by your oral habits, the location of the bonding, and how well you maintain your oral hygiene.
-
Is the dental bonding procedure painful?
Dental bonding typically involves little to no discomfort. No anesthesia is required unless bonding is being used to fill a decayed tooth. Most patients find the procedure straightforward and pain-free.

How do I care for my bonded teeth?
Care for bonded teeth is similar to caring for your natural teeth: regular brushing, flossing, and check-ups are essential. Avoiding hard candy, ice, and other hard objects is also recommended to prevent damage to the bonding material.
