At least one-third of adults don\u2019t like the way their teeth look, either. Thankfully, you don\u2019t need to live with the imperfections. You have more options than ever to achieve a picture-perfect smile; however, one particular treatment surpasses all others. In 2017, 43% of all cosmetic procedures included dental bonding. The convenient, affordable treatment can provide drastic results after just one appointment, but is it permanent? Here\u2019s what you need to know to revamp your smile.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Dental Bonding?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.okdentalexpressions.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">Dental bonding<\/a> is a simple elective procedure that offers a lot of bang for your buck. A composite resin material can fix a variety of issues because it provides both restorative and cosmetic benefits. As a result, it is effective in treating several aesthetic and oral health concerns, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Tooth decay<\/li><li>Tooth discoloration and stains<\/li><li>Chipped or cracked teeth<\/li><li>Gaps between teeth<\/li><li>Exposed tooth roots<\/li><li>Shorter than average teeth<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The resin is customized to match the color of your teeth to blend in with your enamel, so no one will notice it is there. It will look completely natural to instantly boost your confidence. You won\u2019t need to worry about an invasive procedure, permanently altering your teeth, or a long recovery. In as little as one afternoon, you can have the smile of your dreams; however, if you want to improve several teeth, you may need more than one appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Dental Bonding Permanent?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The resin is durable, so it can last for many years with the proper care. Unfortunately, it won\u2019t last forever. Typically, the lifespan is about 5-10 years, but it\u2019s not uncommon for it to thrive for a decade or more with the right aftercare. You can promote the longevity of your new smile by keeping a few tips in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and nonabrasive toothpaste<\/li><li>Brush your teeth for at least 2 minutes twice daily<\/li><li>Use high-quality dental floss daily<\/li><li>Visit your dentist at least twice a year for a cleaning and checkup<\/li><li>Wear an athletic mouthguard if you play sports<\/li><li>Avoid chewing anything hard or sticky<\/li><li>Keep inedible objects out of your mouth<\/li><li>Don\u2019t use your teeth as tools<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Invest in an Attractive Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although your results may not last for a lifetime, dental bonding is an excellent choice to invest in a beautiful smile. You\u2019ll advantage from quick results using a cost-effective option to revitalize your smile. In fact, it may be covered under your dental insurance depending on your circumstances. Don\u2019t spend another day feeling insecure about your teeth.
