Dental Bonding in Independence and Blue Springs, MO
At Kansas City Smiles & Co., we understand that having a beautiful smile can boost your confidence and improve your overall quality of life. Dental bonding is one of the most effective and affordable ways to enhance your smile. This cosmetic procedure can address various dental issues, such as chipped, discolored, or misaligned teeth.
The Dental Bonding Procedure
The dental bonding procedure at Kansas City Smiles & Co. is straightforward and usually completed in one visit. First, the tooth surface is prepared by lightly etching it and applying a conditioning liquid. This helps the bonding material adhere to the tooth. Next, the resin is applied, molded, and smoothed to the desired shape. Once properly positioned, the material is hardened using a special light. Finally, the bonded tooth is polished to ensure it matches the sheen of the rest of your teeth.

What is Cosmetic Dental Bonding?
Cosmetic dental bonding is a procedure where a tooth-colored resin material is applied and bonded to the teeth. This material is meticulously shaped and polished to match your natural teeth, providing a seamless and aesthetically pleasing result. The dental bonding procedure is minimally invasive and typically does not require anesthesia unless it is being used to fill a decayed tooth.
-
How long does dental bonding last?
Dental bonding typically lasts between 3 to 10 years, depending on the location of the bonded tooth and your oral habits.
To ensure the longevity of your bonded teeth, it is important to follow good oral hygiene practices. Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and schedule routine dental check-ups. Avoid habits like biting your nails, chewing on pens, or using your teeth as tools, as these can damage the bonding material.
