Expose and Bonds
Expose and Bonds
Tooth exposure and bonds is the typical treatment for impacted teeth. Tooth exposure is used to expose a tooth that has not fully erupted or is partially covered by gum tissue, which can cause a variety of issues.
Tooth exposure may also be done in preparation for orthodontic treatment which will necessitate moving a tooth into the correct position. Once the tooth is exposed, a bracket or chain is attached to it to aid in its movement during orthodontic treatment.
Bonding, can be used to treat a variety of dental issues and to improve the appearance and function of a tooth. If you have chips, cracks, gaps, and stains on your teeth, bonding may be a cost-effective alternative to more invasive treatments such as veneers or crowns.
