Dental Bonding

Serving Greater Southern Maine and the New Hampshire Seacoast.

If the term “smile makeover” sounds to you like a lengthy or costly process, wait until you discover the incredible benefits of dental bonding. Dental bonding is one of the most popular smile makeover treatments and offers clear smile improvements in just one simple visit. Bonding is not only painless and quick--it is a comparatively inexpensive tooth repair option, too.

The Perfect Dental Bonding Candidates

Our clients love dental bonding because it is such a versatile and effective treatment option. A favorite choice for repair of minor tooth imperfections, composite dental bonding allows your dentist to shape each tooth for a more attractive appearance. You may be the perfect candidate for this smile makeover procedure if you have teeth that are:

• Cracked
• Chipped
• Broken
• Worn down
• Short
• Gapped
• Misshapen
• Damaged by old metal fillings

Dental bonding can be a wonderful alternative to other cosmetic dentistry procedures, such as porcelain veneers or porcelain fillings. However, keep in mind that bonding is generally accepted as a more cosmetic treatment choice and should not be used when the tooth structure is seriously compromised.

How to Transform Your Smile

First, you will visit Kennebunk Center for Dentistry for a thorough evaluation of your dental health. During this time, you can communicate your thoughts on smile improvement and share your areas of concern with our team. After a health history and oral evaluation, our dentist will let you know if bonding is the best way to go.

When you come in to our dental office for your next appointment, your dentist will begin by applying a tooth-colored resin (the bonding material) to your damaged tooth. The putty-like material is then shaped to achieve the desired shape. Next, a high-intensity light is used to “cure” the resin, and the tooth is adjusted as needed and polished. The result is a more aesthetically pleasing tooth that looks very natural and functions just like other teeth. 

Do not let another day go by without seeing what our Kennebunk Center for Dentistry team can do for you.
