How Dental Composite Bonding Can Help Improve Your Smile

Who in Costa Mesa, California, would not love to have a beautiful smile? Most people are born with gorgeous smiles. However, over time, our smiles can suffer from the aging process, injuries and accidents, decay, and even the food and beverages we consume.

Our smiles are so much more than just cosmetic. When someone has a beautiful smile, they tend to smile more often, and scientific studies have shown many tangible benefits to smiling more.

• Longevity: People who smile may live longer.
• Stress Relief: The act of smiling relieves stress.
• Success: People with beautiful smiles are usually more successful in life. That has to do with the fact that when we smile more, we’re more approachable.
• Improved Relationships: When we have lovely smiles, we will socialize more and be more comfortable spending time with people. That has a natural positive effect on our relationships.

As we grow older, most of us lose some of the natural beauty of our smiles. Some people experience their teeth becoming stained or damaged in ways that make them want to smile less. Fortunately, advances in modern dentistry have helped your dentist offer you solutions to this problem.

How Dental Composite Bonding Can Transform Your Smile

There are times when you need a faster smile transformation for fixing your teeth, and perhaps one that is a little more affordable. The good news is that Dr. Joyce Kahng and the team at Orange And Magnolia Dental Studio can perform direct restorations by placing composite bonding on your teeth on the same day.

Generally, the composite resin is used to cover tooth imperfections, correct chipped or cracked teeth, and disguise whatever other concerns impact your smile. Cosmetic dentistry can fix any of these problems.

• Discolored teeth
• Discolored “intrinsic” stains
• Irregularly shaped teeth
• Gaps between the teeth
• Lengthen a tooth that’s too short
• Lengthen a worn-down tooth
• Slight fractures or chips

Composite resin is the same strong material that your dentist uses to create tooth-colored fillings. Composite material is placed onto a tooth that your dental team carefully prepares to fix your smile. Then, a special light is used to cure (or harden) your cosmetic bonding. The light works to harden the resin to adhere to your teeth securely.

How Long Does Cosmetic Bonding Last?

Composite bondings will last between five and seven years if you take good care of them with a regular brushing and flossing routine. You should also avoid chewing on ice and other hard objects. Equally important, avoid beverages that can stain your teeth, including coffee and red wine.
