If you have a chipped tooth that shows when you smile or a tooth that’s slightly misaligned, Dr. Wiese may recommend cosmetic bonding. He shades composite resin to match natural tooth color, then bonds the resin in place. Flawed teeth become beautiful smiles.
After applying the resin, Dr. Wiese will harden it with a curing light. He’ll sculpt and polish it for a completely natural look. Cosmetic bonding takes one visit to complete and appeals to clients who want a more affordable alternative to porcelain veneers. Unlike porcelain veneers, however, bonding typically lasts only 5 to 10 years, so the process has to be repeated in the future.
Dr. Wiese will examine your teeth and discuss your expectations to determine if cosmetic bonding is the right choice for your needs.
