Is something not quite right with your smile? Any number of minor defects can affect the look of your teeth. Composite bonding in Foster City, CA, from the team at Peninsula Dental Associates, provides a fast, straightforward, and affordable solution to many different types of damage and defects.
Composite bonding relies on composite resin to restore damaged teeth and adjust the shape or proportions of your teeth. We carefully apply and sculpt the resin to provide a natural appearance and then cure it with a UV light for hardness and strength.
This approach to modern dentistry in Silicon Valley resolves a wide range of dental issues. We can easily repair minor cracks and chips, and we’ll adjust the composite resin to match the shade of your teeth so that those around you can’t tell the difference.
Misshapen teeth or teeth that are too small can also be adjusted with composite bonding to match the rest of your natural smile. This treatment can close gaps between teeth for a more even smile or cover exposed roots to prevent sensitivity.
One of the most significant perks of composite bonding is how fast and straightforward the treatment is. While other methods, such as veneers or dental crowns, require considerable preparation, composite bonding takes just one visit and has no recovery time.
In most cases, you don’t even need an anesthetic, as the procedure is generally comfortable even without it. However, you might need a local anesthetic if we have to perform a preparatory treatment, such as removing tooth decay.
The composite resin itself is strong and durable. It stands up well to the daily strain of biting and chewing. While it can wear down over the years, reapplication is just as simple as it was the first time.
At Peninsula Dental Associates, we provide the most advanced restorative dental treatments in Foster City, CA. We’ll carefully evaluate your needs to determine whether composite bonding or other options, such as veneers or dental crowns, are best for the appearance, function, and health of your smile.
