Are you looking for a quick, effective, and affordable solution to enhance your smile? Leawood Dental bonding might just be the answer. Dental bonding is a cosmetic dentistry procedure where a tooth-colored resin material is applied to your teeth, sculpted and shaped, and then hardened with a special light, ultimately bonding the material to the tooth to improve your smile. This procedure can repair decayed, chipped, fractured, or discolored teeth and is even used to make teeth appear longer or to change their shape. With dental bonding, you can regain your confidence and flash your beautiful smile.
Why Should I Get Dental Bonding?
If you're unhappy with your smile due to minor dental flaws, dental bonding is an excellent option. It's a versatile treatment that can correct a variety of issues such as cracks, chips, gaps, or discoloration in your teeth. Dental bonding is less invasive and more cost-effective than other cosmetic dental procedures. It usually doesn't require anesthesia unless it's being used to fill a decayed tooth. What's more, dental bonding can often be done in one office visit unless several teeth are involved. It's a fast and effective way to enhance your smile and boost your self-esteem.

The Benefits Of Dental Bonding in Leawood
Quick and Painless Procedure
One of the main advantages of dental bonding is that it's a quick and painless procedure. In most cases, it can be completed in a single visit to Dr. Geoff Kerns' office at The Smile Line Studio. There's minimal preparation needed, and unless the bonding is being used to fill a decayed tooth, anesthesia is usually not required. You can walk in with a flawed smile and walk out with a renewed one.
Cost-Effective
Compared to other cosmetic dental procedures like veneers or crowns, dental bonding is a more affordable option. It's a cost-effective solution for those who want to enhance their smile without breaking the bank. Plus, dental bonding requires less tooth enamel removal than veneers or crowns, making it a healthier choice for your teeth in the long run.
Versatile
Dental bonding is a versatile procedure that can correct a wide range of dental issues. Whether you have a chipped tooth, a gap between your teeth, or some discoloration, dental bonding can help. It's also used to protect exposed roots when gums recede, providing relief from sensitivity.
Our Leawood Dental Bonding Treatment Process
Preparation
The first step in the dental bonding process is preparation. Dr. Geoff Kerns will use a shade guide to select a composite resin color that closely matches the color of your natural teeth. No anesthesia is generally needed unless the bonding is being used to fill a decayed tooth.
Bonding
Next, the surface of the tooth will be roughened, and a conditioning liquid applied. This helps the bonding material adhere to the tooth. Then, the tooth-colored, putty-like resin is applied, molded, and smoothed to the desired shape.
Hardening
The final step involves hardening the resin. Dr. Geoff Kerns will use a special light to harden the material. Once the material is hard, he will further trim and shape it, then polish it to match the sheen of the rest of your tooth surface. This step concludes the dental bonding procedure, leaving you with a refreshed and beautiful smile.
