Bonding

Often, patients have imperfections in their smile. They may have a chipped tooth near the front of their mouth, or may be dealing with a small space between teeth. Sometimes it is necessary to address these issues to protect a tooth from further damage, while other times it is purely cosmetic. One of the simplest, most affordable ways to address these imperfections is with dental bonding.

Dental bonding is done with composite resin. This resin is tooth-colored, and is matched with the patient’s existing teeth. The bonding is in a clay-like form, and is applied to the tooth’s surface. It is sculpted, shaped, and contoured around the tooth to cover the imperfection and then hardened with a UV light. Then, Dr. Löberg polishes the tooth and gives it the shine that is expected from natural tooth enamel. This ensures that it blends in perfectly with a patient’s smile to look as natural as possible.

Dr. Löberg, of Löberg Professional Dental Corporation, uses dental bonding for a number of situations, including:

• The protection of exposed tooth roots
• Repairing cracks and chips
• Disguising spaces between teeth near the front of the mouth
• Reshaping teeth that are crooked or unusually shaped
• As a replacement for silver amalgam fillings
• Disguising discolored, stained teeth that do not respond to traditional bleaching methods
• Stabilize a tooth that is loose

Dr. Löberg and his team offer dental bonding along with other restorative treatments such as porcelain veneers, dental crowns, and bridges. All of these cosmetic treatments can help patients improve their smile and disguise imperfections that may result in lowered self-esteem and confidence.
