If You Are Considering Dental Bonding, Here Are Some Basic Facts About Dental Bonding You Should Know
If you have a gap between teeth in your “smile zone,” you are likely aware and self-conscious about it. While some gaps are tiny and harder for others to notice, some gaps can be quite large and much more noticeable. If you are unhappy with an existing gap in your front teeth, dental bonding, as offered by Dr. Brad Sievert at Westlake Family Dentistry in Lake Oswego, Oregon, can be a simple yet highly effective way to take care of it.
Dental bonding is a cosmetic dental service involving applying a tooth-colored composite resin to any given tooth. The reason you may want a tooth bonded can vary among many issues, including gaps, cracks, chips, discoloration, and more. Many patients who visit Dr. Sievert choose dental bonding over other alternatives, such as porcelain veneers. Here are some things you should know if you are considering dental bonding.
Bonding Is Simple
Dental bonding is a relatively simple and straightforward process that involves the shaping of tooth-colored dental resin, which is applied to the tooth and then bonded. It is less invasive than many other cosmetic dental services and can be completed within a single visit.

Bonding Is Painless
If you are worried about dental bonding being painful, you do not need to! Dental bonding is a very comfortable dental procedure, and, likely, you will not even need an anesthetic applied prior to the procedure. The only discomfort you may experience is minor (and temporary) tooth sensitivity following your procedure.
Bonding Is Affordable
For many, the cost of cosmetic dental treatment is unthinkable. Because procedures such as veneers or dental crowns can be cost-prohibitive, individuals rarely look into what cosmetic dental treatments are actually affordable. Dental bonding is one such treatment and is quite affordable, making it accessible to many.
