Try as you may; you can’t always prevent an accident from happening. Accidents are one of the major causes of tooth damage. A tumble off your bike or collision on the sports field can leave you with a chipped or cracked tooth. Fortunately, modern dentistry has solutions for repairing damaged teeth. One of the best solutions for minor tooth damage is dental bonding. Through direct tooth bonding, Dr. Mircea Mitu from Family Dental Center of Manteca, Manteca, California, can fix chipped or cracked teeth to make them look new again. Here’s what you should know about dental bonding.
Although bonding is a relatively simple cosmetic procedure, it can yield high-end results. This non-invasive treatment can often be completed in one dental visit to restore your smile’s aesthetics. Dr. Mitu uses composite resin material for bonding treatment, similar to what’s used to treat cavities. This tooth-colored material is applied to your teeth and molded into shape to repair chips, cracks, and other damage. Then, it’s dried with a UV light to harden. Once hardened, we’ll trim and polish your tooth to renew its appearance. Your once-damaged tooth will look like new!

The composite resin material is also used to treat cavities. After removing the decay, we’ll fill your tooth with a composite filling to protect it from future decay.
Dental bonding is a quick, affordable, versatile dental treatment that can do wonders in renewing the health and beauty of your smile.
