If you’re feeling self-conscious about your smile due to issues like stains, chipped teeth, misshapen teeth, or gaps in your smile, Dr. Molly Rosen is here to help. With cosmetic dental bonding in Philadelphia from the office of Dr. Molly Rosen, you can cover up flaws in your smile, smile with confidence, and love the way you look.
Dental bonding is a cosmetic dentistry treatment that uses tooth-colored composite resin to cover up cosmetic flaws and enhance your smile. This is very similar to the material that’s used for fillings. But instead of filling cavities, dental bonding involves artistically sculpting composite resin to reshape your teeth, cover up flaws, and create a more balanced, pleasing, and appealing smile.
With dental bonding, you can correct issues like tooth stains, chipped teeth, gaps between your teeth, and anything else that makes you feel self-conscious about your smile. Once you’re finished with your treatment at the office of Dr. Molly Rosen, you’ll be able to smile proudly and confidently once again.
Sometimes meeting with Dr. Rosen prior to the bonding process is an important step to make sure that all of the patient’s questions can be answered, and Dr. Rosen can discuss the desired results for the patient. This can involve photographs, analyzing ideal outcomes, and deciding whether or not whitening your teeth prior to the composite bonding is recommended.
Dr. Rosen will clean the treatment area and prepare the tooth surface with a few different solutions so that the dental composite can bond tightly to the natural enamel.
Next, Dr. Rosen will choose a shade of dental resin that matches the nearby teeth perfectly. She will apply it to your tooth in a putty-like form and use special tools to sculpt and mold it into the perfect shape while it’s still soft. Sometimes, she uses special resins to mask unwanted colors, or to blend teeth to make them more harmonious.
When the overall shape of your tooth looks right, Dr. Rosen will use a special UV light to cure and harden the resin. Then, she will trim away any excess material and continue to refine the shape of your tooth until it looks perfect.
The final step is to check your bite and make sure your new tooth fits into your mouth perfectly. Once everything looks perfect, Dr. Rosen will polish your new tooth to make sure it looks bright and shiny. Then, you’ll be sent home to enjoy your picture-perfect new smile!
