Are you self-conscious about your smile due to discolored, chipped, or irregularly shaped teeth? Dental bonding is a simple, yet transformative cosmetic dentistry procedure that can rectify these issues and rejuvenate your smile. At Hudson Dental Co., Dr. Kallianpur uses a tooth-colored resin material that is applied to the affected tooth and then hardened with a special light. This process bonds the material to the tooth, improving its overall appearance. Dental bonding is a quick, painless, and cost-effective treatment that can dramatically enhance your smile and boost your self-confidence.

The Benefits Of Dental Bonding
Enhances Smile Aesthetics
Dental bonding is a fantastic way to enhance the aesthetic appeal of your smile. Whether it's fixing a chipped tooth, filling a gap, or disguising a discolored tooth, dental bonding can rectify these imperfections and boost your self-confidence. It's amazing how a simple procedure can transform your smile and make you feel like a new person.
Preserves Tooth Structure
One of the major advantages of dental bonding is that it requires minimal tooth preparation and enamel removal. This means that the natural structure of your tooth is largely preserved, making dental bonding a conservative treatment option. Unlike other cosmetic procedures, dental bonding does not require significant alteration of your tooth, making it a safe and effective choice.
Quick and Painless
Dental bonding is a quick procedure usually completed in a single visit. It does not require anesthesia unless it's being used to fill a decayed tooth. This means you can walk into our Pleasantville office and walk out with a transformed smile in just one visit. The procedure is painless and the results are immediate, making dental bonding a popular choice for many patients.
The Dental Bonding Treatment Process
Preparation
During the initial visit, Dr. Kallianpur will use a shade guide to select a composite resin color that closely matches the color of your natural teeth. This ensures a seamless and natural-looking result. Minimal tooth preparation is needed for the bonding process, and anesthesia is usually not necessary unless the bonding is being used for a decayed tooth.
Bonding Process
The surface of the tooth will be roughened and a conditioning liquid applied. This helps the bonding material adhere to the tooth. The tooth-colored, putty-like resin is then applied, molded, and smoothed to the desired shape.
Hardening and Polishing
The resin is hardened with an ultraviolet light or laser. After the material is hardened, Dr. Kallianpur will further trim and shape it, then polish the material until it matches the sheen of the rest of the tooth surface. This final step ensures that the bonded tooth looks natural and blends seamlessly with the rest of your teeth.
