What is Direct Bonding?
Direct bonding is a simple, quick, and painless treatment that uses a substance known as composite resin to easily hide minor flaws on your teeth. The resin is the same solution used for tooth-colored fillings and is capable of being color matched to ensure it blends nicely with natural, existing teeth. It is also malleable, allowing your cosmetic dentist in Homer Glen to easily shape and sculpt it into place layer upon layer to properly cover imperfections and create a more aesthetically pleasing smile.
How It Works
Once Dr. DeAngelo agrees to perform direct bonding on your teeth, he will begin by gently roughening the surface of those teeth that will receive the composite resin. This will etch the surface and allow for the bonding material to adhere properly when put into place. Next, he will match the composite resin to the appropriate shade, making sure it blends in nicely and doesn’t cause your tooth to appear brighter or different from the others.
When ready, he will apply it to the surface of your tooth and begin to shape and sculpt it into place. Covering the imperfections and flaws, he will then use a curing light that is designed to harden the resin into place.
When satisfied with the overall appearance, he will give your teeth a final polish before you can begin to enjoy your new and improved smile.
