Quick Smile Repair at Solt Family Dental
Small imperfections in your teeth can make a big impact on your confidence. At Solt Family Dental in Wyoming, Michigan, we offer dental bonding as a fast, affordable way to improve the appearance of your smile—often in just one visit. Using a tooth-colored resin, bonding restores chips, closes gaps, smooths rough edges, and covers stains for a more balanced, polished look.
Dental bonding is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that involves applying a pliable composite resin to the surface of a tooth. We then shape, sculpt, and harden the material using a curing light to create a seamless, natural-looking result. Since bonding doesn’t require enamel removal or anesthesia in most cases, it’s an ideal option for patients seeking quick and conservative smile improvements.
✔ Chipped or cracked teeth
✔ Small gaps between teeth
✔ Minor discoloration or staining
✔ Uneven or misshapen teeth
✔ Exposed tooth roots from gum recession
Bonding is one of the most versatile and convenient cosmetic treatments we offer. In just one appointment, you can walk away with a stronger, brighter, and more uniform smile. Because the resin is color-matched to your natural tooth shade, the results are subtle and beautiful. Furthermore, bonding is far more affordable than other options like veneers or crowns, making it a great choice for minor aesthetic fixes.
The bonding process is simple and typically takes less than an hour per tooth. First, we gently etch the surface of your tooth to help the resin adhere. After applying the color-matched material, we shape it to match your natural contours. Once we achieve the desired shape, we use a special light to harden the resin and then polish it for a smooth, lifelike finish.
With proper care, bonded teeth can last several years. While bonding isn’t as stain-resistant as porcelain, brushing twice daily, flossing regularly, and avoiding habits like nail-biting or chewing ice will help preserve the results. Additionally, routine dental visits allow us to monitor and maintain the bonded areas as needed.
