Are you self-conscious about your smile? Do chipped, discolored, or misshapen teeth prevent you from expressing your best self? If so, dental bonding might be the perfect solution for you. Dental bonding is a simple yet effective cosmetic dentistry procedure that can dramatically enhance the appearance of your teeth. At Roots Dental in Meridian, Dr. Bill Frei and Dr. Stephen Thomas uses a tooth-colored resin material that is applied to your teeth and hardened with a special light. This bonds the material to the tooth, effectively restoring and improving your smile.

Why Should I Get Dental Bonding?
If you're looking for a quick, painless, and affordable way to improve your smile, dental bonding is an excellent option. Unlike veneers and crowns, which require multiple visits and more extensive preparation, dental bonding can typically be done in one visit. It's a great choice for minor cosmetic changes and for correction of teeth in areas of low bite pressure, like your front teeth. Plus, dental bonding requires minimal removal of enamel compared to crowns and veneers, preserving the natural structure of your teeth.

The Benefits Of Dental Bonding in Meridian
Improved Aesthetics
One of the most significant benefits of dental bonding is the improved aesthetics. Whether you're dealing with a chipped tooth, unsightly gaps, or discoloration, dental bonding can help. The resin used in the procedure can be matched closely to your natural tooth color, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking result.
Quick and Convenient
Dental bonding is a relatively quick procedure that usually takes between 30 to 60 minutes per tooth. This means you can walk into our office with a smile you're unhappy with and leave with a transformed, confident grin in just one visit.
Minimal Tooth Enamel Removal
Unlike other cosmetic dental procedures, dental bonding requires minimal tooth enamel removal. This is beneficial because it preserves more of your natural tooth structure, promoting long-term oral health.
Our Meridian Dental Bonding Treatment Process
Preparation
The dental bonding procedure begins with preparation. Dr. Frei or Dr. Thomas will select a composite resin color that closely matches the color of your existing teeth. This ensures a natural and seamless result. No anesthesia is usually needed unless the bonding is being used to fill a decayed tooth.
Bonding Application
Next, the surface of the tooth will be roughened and a conditioning liquid applied. These steps help the bonding material adhere to the tooth. Dr. Frei or Dr. Thomas will then apply the tooth-colored resin, molding and smoothing it until it's the proper shape.
Hardening and Polishing
The final step involves hardening the resin. Dr. Frei or Dr. Thomas will use a special light to harden the material. Once the resin is fully hardened, he will trim, shape, and polish the bonded tooth until it matches the sheen of your other teeth, giving you a revitalized, natural-looking smile.
