We put our teeth through a lot of wear and tear. If you\u2019re like most people, you have more than one concern about your smile. You may not only want a whiter smile, but a straighter, better aligned or more consistently shaped and spaced smile. Fortunately all of these concerns can be addressed by one simple procedure, cosmetic bonding. To see if <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elmbrookfamilydental.com\/direct-bonding.html\">cosmetic bonding<\/a> is right for you, just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elmbrookfamilydental.com\/contact.html\">make an appointment<\/a> with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elmbrookfamilydental.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">experienced and attentive dentists<\/a> of Elmbrook Family Dental today.

The dentist starts by finding a composite resin shade that matches your teeth. Then the surface of your tooth is roughened and a conditioning liquid is applied. This helps the bonding material adhere to the tooth. The tooth-colored resin is then applied, molded, and smoothed to the desired tooth shape. An ultraviolet light or laser is then used to harden the putty- like resin. After the material is hardened, the dentist will trim, shape and polish it to match the sheen of the tooth surface.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Problems Can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elmbrookfamilydental.com\/direct-bonding.html\">Cosmetic Bonding<\/a> Fix?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dental bonding is an incredibly versatile cosmetic procedure. Dental bonding can help to correct:<\/li>\n<li>Decayed teeth (except cavities)<\/li>\n<li>Chipped or cracked teeth<\/li>\n<li>Discoloration<\/li>\n<li>Gaps and spaces<\/li>\n<li>Elongate shortened teeth<\/li>\n<li>Irregular shaping<\/li>\n<li>An alternative to amalgam fillings<\/li>\n<li>Protect tooth roots exposed by receding gums<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elmbrookfamilydental.com\/direct-bonding.html\">Cosmetic Bonding<\/a> Appointments in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elmbrookfamilydental.com\/contact.html\">Brookfield, WI<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Although <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elmbrookfamilydental.com\/direct-bonding.html\">cosmetic bonding<\/a> is among the easiest and least expensive of cosmetic dental procedures, it may not be able to correct more severe tooth damage or misalignments.
