Dental bonding in Kingsport, TN, is a great way to fix small gaps between teeth. However, your dentist may recommend an alternative treatment if the spacing issues are more significant.
About Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is a cosmetic dentistry option that relies on composite resin (tooth-colored filling material) to conceal tooth flaws, including discoloration, chips, cracks, minor wear, and small gaps between teeth.
Your dentist applies and shapes the resin to conceal your cosmetic issue. Then, we set the material with a dental light and finish it with a polish.
After bonding, we recommend you avoid tooth-staining foods and drinks or rinse/clean your mouth after consuming. Bonding material can stain just like your tooth enamel.
Other Options to Conceal Gaps Between Teeth
If your tooth gap results from a missing tooth, the only option is tooth replacement—for example, a dental bridge.
Other options to correct or conceal unusual spacing between teeth may include a dental crown or veneer.
Dental crowns are custom tooth covers fitted over treated teeth. A dental veneer is a front-facing shell of porcelain fixed to the tooth.
