Dental Bonding and Contouring in Temple, TX

Our dental bonding service in Temple, TX, offers a quick and effective solution for minor aesthetic concerns. Compared to veneers or crowns, it does not provide full coverage to your underlying teeth but is a better solution if you want a quick fix. It does not require the lengthy prep work of veneers or crowns and can be done easily in a single appointment. Dental bonding is a good option for you if you have the following:

• Chipped or cracked teeth
• Small or uneven teeth
• Minor gaps between teeth
• Discoloration of teeth
• Slightly misaligned teeth

Many people want a quick way to fix their minor tooth issues. Dental bonding and contouring at our Temple, TX, practice requires only a single visit to get a perfect smile. It offers the following benefits:

• Non-invasive, pain-free procedure
• It requires a short time, only 30 to 60 minutes
• Composite resin can be molded in any shape or size
• It can last for 5 to 7 years with proper dental care
• It blends perfectly with your natural teeth

Our dentists will perform an initial exam to assess your needs and decide the best course of treatment for you. If dental bonding is the right option to fix cosmetic issues, we will begin by choosing a shade of composite resin that matches perfectly with your teeth. The whole procedure is usually painless and does not require anesthesia, but if you feel nervous, we may offer nitrous oxide sedation for a smooth experience.

After selecting a matching shade, our dentist will prep the desired tooth areas for bonding. Following this, we apply composite resin and mold it to match the natural contour of your teeth. A special ultraviolet light then cures the resin. The final step is to give finishing touches by buffing excess material, leaving a smooth, shiny surface.
