A Practical Option for Filling Gaps Between Teeth with Composite Bonding

Tooth gaps are more common than people think. Yet, they can cause you to smile less frequently due to their unsightly appearance. Rather than hide your smile, consider closing those gaps with composite bonding. Dental bonding offers a fast and affordable solution to gapped teeth. Rochester, Michigan, residents can contact the office of John L. Aurelia, D.D.S., PLLC, for quality composite bonding treatment.

How Bonding Works to Fill Gaps Between Teeth

Tooth gaps can affect your teeth’ esthetics, function, and health. Gapped teeth:

• are less attractive and appealing, which could make you self-conscious when you smile
• can make cleaning difficult due to food particles hiding in between your teeth
• can affect chewing, which may restrict the type of foods you can eat

By closing gaps, composite bonding can resolve all these issues. Bonding involves the use of composite resin to close gaps between your teeth. Drs. John Aurelia or Dina Khoury will apply the resin to the teeth bordering the space to fill it. We’ll match the color of the resin to the shade of your teeth so that it blends in well with your natural teeth. Once the resin dries, you’ll have a seamless smile that’s as natural as it can be.

Who Can Benefit from Dental Bonding?

Almost anyone with tooth gaps can benefit from composite bonding treatment. Bonding offers a practical, affordable fix for closing tooth gaps and improving your smile. This non-invasive treatment can be completed in one dental visit. Bonding requires no recovery time, like many other cosmetic treatments. You walk away with a beautiful smile that you can show off with ease.

Before scheduling dental bonding, Drs Aurelia or Khoury will examine your teeth to make sure you have no cavities, infections, or other dental issues. Bonding should only be done on strong and healthy teeth. By taking good care of your bonded teeth, you can minimize wear and tear to increase the longevity of this treatment.
