Here\u2019s what you need to know to get the most out of your investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:8px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Dental Bonding?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental bonding is versatile because it can correct several concerns using an affordable and convenient method that looks natural. Dental bonding is often a great solution for patients wanting to correct:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tooth decay<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Exposed tooth roots<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chipped or fractured teeth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dark tooth discoloration or stains<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Abnormally shaped tooth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.drkarenho.com\/cosmetic-bonding.html\">Dental bonding<\/a> can be performed in just one appointment; however, if you are treating several teeth, your dentist may recommend multiple visits. They\u2019ll use a local anesthetic to ensure you are comfortable before beginning your procedure. After you are numb and your teeth have been cleaned, a weak acid is applied to the tooth to open the pores in your enamel. The acid is rinsed off before the customized resin is placed on your tooth and hardened using a special dental light. You\u2019ll walk out of your appointment with a dazzling, healthy smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Dental Bonding Permanent?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On average, dental bonding lasts for about 5 to 10 years before needing to be replaced. The lifespan of your investment depends on multiple factors, like your aftercare routine. It\u2019s not uncommon for bonding to last for a decade or longer with the right care. Although your results may not last forever, dental bonding doesn\u2019t alter the structure of your tooth. Since the procedure is reversible, it allows you to choose different treatment options when it\u2019s time to have your bonding replaced, like porcelain veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do I Ensure My Dental Bonding Lasts?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can protect your investment from preventable complications to ensure your new smile serves you for many years. Your oral hygiene routine is the most important factor to influence the lifespan of your dental bonding. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and nonabrasive toothpaste to brush your teeth at least twice a day. Use high-quality dental floss to clean between each tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides caring for your smile at home, schedule a cleaning and checkup with your dentist every 6 months. They\u2019ll examine your bonding at each appointment and make recommendations to protect your results, like not using your teeth as tools to open packages or chewing on your fingernails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dentist will create the personalized plan you need to enjoy your beautiful smile for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About Dr. Karen Ho<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.drkarenho.com\/meet-dr-ho.html\">Dr. Ho<\/a> earned her dental degree from the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry.
