I really enjoy doing the bonding, because that’s where you can get artistic and crafty, and you wanna fix it, and you really can fix it with bonding. So, if it’s one or two teeth, you can do the bonding chairside by applying the composite, which is the filling material, to match their shade, asking the patient, taking before-and-after pictures. But, if multiple teeth are involved, then we try to do a wax-up and stent, and I try to do injection molding technique where I inject the material right into the tray on their teeth. And then after that, I’ll do the finishing procedure where we polish and finish everything, and the patient come back one or two more visits, and they look great.
Give Your Teeth a Big Boost With a Small Investment
Dental bonding is an efficient way to make beneficial changes to your smile. We have used bonding to help countless patients prepare for big events like weddings and reunions and to provide an everyday solution for smile shortcomings. Bonding involves applying a composite resin where it is needed to hide flaws. After the resin hardens, we polish it. The resin matches the color of your teeth, so it looks like part of your natural smile.
A bonding treatment is:
- Fast – It’s often possible to complete your transformation in just one visit to our office.
- Versatile – Bonding works on many issues that can affect how you feel about your smile like chips, cracks, discoloration, gaps between teeth, and worn-down teeth
- Affordable – Bonding costs less than many other cosmetic treatments.
- Reversible – Unlike veneers or crowns, bonding doesn’t require removal of tooth enamel.
If your problems are bigger, then dental veneers could be a better option. Talking to our doctor will give you the information you need to make the right decision for you.
One visit with us could give you a new perspective on your smile. Just as important, bonding can last for years with the proper care and maintenance. That also can give you time to decide if you want a more permanent treatment.
