Are you a Candidate for Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding lets cosmetic dentists restore or improve their patients’ smiles with a revolutionary material that resembles the natural tooth. Most dental bonding treatments are quick, painless, and minimally invasive. Plus, they make the teeth look natural and bright.

What is dental bonding?

Composite, or dental, bonding uses a tooth-colored resin, or clay-like material, to reshape and restore a tooth. Composite bonding can be used to repair chipped, cracked, or broken teeth. This technique can also be used to fill in gaps and improve the color of the smile. Once the composite bonding resin is applied to the teeth and shaped perfectly, the cosmetic dentist shines a UV light over the material to harden it. This ensures that the resin material dries and hardens for long-lasting, restorative results.

How can you benefit from dental bonding?

If you have chipped or cracked teeth, your cosmetic dentist may choose to use dental bonding in order to recreate the tooth’s natural shape. Chips in your tooth could jeopardize your dental health and put you at risk for cavities. Dental bonding can decrease that risk and restore the look of your smile.

How does it fill in unwanted gaps?

If you’re unhappy with gaps between your teeth, you may also be a candidate for dental bonding. Your cosmetic dentist can fill in any gaps with the tooth-colored resin material to create the appearance of a straight, beautiful smile. He can also use dental bonding to improve any discoloration of your teeth so that your smile shines brighter.

Composite resin can also be used to replace old amalgam fillings. Amalgam fillings are very noticeable and vulnerable to extreme temperatures. Fortunately, you can choose to have these silver-colored fillings replaced with dental bonding so that your teeth look and feel healthy.

Why Tooth Whitening Is Not Equal to Tooth Brushing

A white smile isn’t always a healthy smile. It’s important to know that at-home whitening treatments that contain powerful stain-removing chemicals can’t effectively remove plaque and tartar buildup.

For more information on why it is important to brush and floss your teeth every day, take a look at this video. You’ll hear from an American Dental Association representative about why whitening treatments can’t measure up to thorough tooth brushing. Remember to visit your dentist regularly in order to maintain a good oral hygiene routine and clean, healthy teeth.

Undergoing professional dental screenings and cleanings can help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health complications. Visit the office of Dr. Kenn Kakosian, DDS if you need any general or cosmetic dental treatment. To learn more about our dental practice, visit our website or call (888) 775-8116 today.

Who is a Good Candidate for Invisalign?

Invisalign orthodontic treatment consists of plastic molds that snap tightly onto the teeth in order to gradually shift the teeth to more natural and healthy positions. Millions of people have turned to Invisalign to achieve more beautiful smiles—Invisalign trays are easy to wear, virtually invisible, and removable. If you have any of the following needs, ask your cosmetic dentist if Invisalign is right for you.

Your Smile Needs Minor Adjustments:

If you have minor crowding or spacing between your teeth, you may be an ideal candidate for Invisalign. Invisalign technology isn’t capable of correcting severe dental abnormalities, but it can correct moderate jaw misalignment, minor crowding and spacing, and other minor dental problems. Only your orthodontist or cosmetic dentist can determine whether you’re a candidate for Invisalign, so make the call today. 

You Want Less Intrusive Orthodontic Treatment:

If you’ve been putting off necessary orthodontic treatment because you don’t want to undergo invasive or time-consuming procedures, consider treatment with Invisalign. With Invisalign, you can achieve a beautiful smile without having to give up your favorite foods or feel self-conscious about your smile. Metal-bracket braces can irritate gums and cheeks and prohibit you from eating certain foods. Invisalign is designed to fit snugly around the teeth so that they don’t scrape the gums. Plus, no one will even notice you’re wearing your Invisalign trays, so your orthodontic treatment will be discreet.   

Adults who work in sales or on-camera professionals will benefit from wearing Invisalign. Self-conscious teens and young adults can also benefit because no one will be able to tell that orthodontic treatment is underway. You can take pictures, attend work meetings with important clients, and smile at strangers without feeling embarrassed about your teeth.

You’re Looking for Fast Results:

Each Invisalign treatment is custom-created with advanced technology that maps out an efficient, expedient treatment plan. However, every patient is different, so results will vary.
