Dental Bonding In Montebello, CA

Bonding offers a few unique advantages compared to other cosmetic dentistry procedures such as veneers.
‍
First, it’s very affordable. Treatment with dental bonding is typically much cheaper compared to veneers, so it’s more suitable for people who may be on a tight budget, but still want to improve their smiles.
‍
Bonding is also very versatile, and it can be used to treat almost any cosmetic flaw. It’s commonly used to treat stained and discolored teeth, misshapen teeth, minor chips, and gaps between the teeth. 
‍
In addition to these benefits, bonding is non-invasive and is reversible, since it does not require the removal of any enamel, unlike veneers. This means that it may be a better choice for patients who don’t like the idea of a permanent, irreversible cosmetic treatment. Contact us today to learn more and see if bonding is right for you.

The process of dental bonding takes only one appointment, and it will usually only take about 30 minutes to treat each tooth, so multiple teeth can be bonded during one appointment with Dr. Jelani Winslow at Whittier Palm Dental.
‍
Dr. Winslow will begin by cleaning your mouth and applying a mild acid solution to the teeth that will be bonded. This acid roughens up the surface but does not damage the enamel, and is used to ensure that the bonding material attaches properly to the tooth structure.
‍
Once the teeth have been prepared, Dr. Winslow will select a tooth-colored resin that will match your existing teeth perfectly, and apply it directly to the tooth layer-by-layer, hardening and shaping the resin with UV light and special dental tools.
‍
After Dr. Winslow has restored the overall shape of your tooth, he will check your bite and ensure that the bonded tooth fits in perfectly with the rest of your mouth. Then, the process is over. If you’re having multiple teeth bonded, this process will be repeated for each other tooth.

Make sure to brush twice a day and floss once a day, and to see Dr. Winslow for six-month cleanings and oral exams in Montebello, Whittier, or Pico Rivera. This will ensure your teeth stay healthy and strong.
‍
You also should avoid biting into hard foods like popcorn kernels or almonds with your front teeth, as this could damage your bonded teeth. Don’t chew non-food objects like pens and pencils, either, and avoid using teeth to open packages, rip tape, or for any other non-chewing purpose.
