Minor smile blemishes can be bothersome, especially if you’re worried others might notice. If you’re putting your personal or professional life on hold because you’re unhappy with your teeth, it’s time to consider cosmetic dental treatments in Bonita Springs. With so many options to choose from, you may wonder which one will help hide your problem area best. Before making a decision, read on to discover how beneficial cosmetic bonding can be when covering these 4 imperfections.

Eliminate the Gap

It’s highly unlikely that as an adult you want anyone pointing out the gap in your smile. Depending on its size, cosmetic bonding can be an ideal solution for covering the extra space. When meeting with your dentist, they can determine if this versatile method of treatment will be appropriate for your needs. Oftentimes, if the gap is too large, orthodontics will be the only way to bring teeth closer together; however, if it’s minor, color-matched composite resin can be shaped and sculpted into place, effectively closing the space and creating a complete, beautiful smile.

Elongate Your Smile

If your teeth look short or “small,” you’re not alone. This can often happen as a result of genetics, gum tissue overgrowth, or excessive wear and tear due to brushing, teeth grinding, or even consuming highly acidic beverages. By using composite resin to elongate your teeth, your cosmetic dentist in Bonita Springs can create a more aesthetically pleasing smile that boosts your confidence like never before.

Safeguard the Roots of Your Teeth

Whether aggressive brushing or periodontal disease has left you with receding gums, you’ll want to do whatever you can to protect the roots of your teeth. Should this area become exposed, you can become vulnerable to tooth sensitivity as well as more serious oral health problems (i.e., dental decay). Fortunately, with cosmetic bonding, your dentist can carefully shape the resin into place and cover this area of your tooth structure, protecting it from potential harm and giving you a reason to truly smile.

Breathing New Life Into Decayed Teeth

If one or more of your teeth falls victim to decay or damage, you might think only a dental crown can fix the problem. While the proper procedures will be necessary to ensure the health of your tooth, it is possible for your cosmetic dentist to place composite resin onto the surface of your tooth, creating a stronger, more durable structure.

If you want a minimally invasive option that is affordable, versatile, and offers quick results, talk to your dentist about your candidacy for cosmetic bonding.
