Cosmetic Bonding
If you have a chipped, slightly misaligned, or otherwise imperfect tooth that needs cosmetic restoration, we may suggest bonding, rather than a more extensive cosmetic dental procedure, such as porcelain veneers. Cosmetic bonding is an affordable, esthetic smile procedure that can correct minor flaws and can create a more attractive, natural-looking grin. Because cosmetic bonding is affordable, safe, and long lasting, it is an ideal cosmetic dental procedure for patients of all ages with a variety of needs. Whether your child has broken a tooth during a soccer game, you want to close the gap between your two front teeth, or your mother is looking for a way to conceal heavy staining from years of drinking coffee, we may suggest cosmetic dental bonding.
Using high-quality bonding materials, Dr. Locke will apply the putty-like composite resin to your teeth in the desired area. He will sculpt the resin to the ideal shape and size, ensuring that it blends seamlessly with your natural tooth structure and surrounding teeth, and then harden it with a curing light. After the bonding has set, Dr. Locke will polish and shine your new teeth to give them a natural luster and adjust the color to blend with the rest of your smile. Just like with your natural teeth, quality dental hygiene is very important. Plaque and bacteria can easily accumulate at the gum line of your bonded teeth, so thorough brushing and flossing are necessary. With the proper care, your cosmetic bonding can last for years.
Waco cosmetic dentist Dr. Corbet Locke can complete your smile makeover in a single appointment at his dental office, conveniently located in Central Texas, near Hewitt and Woodway.
