Dental Bonding

Bonding is a procedure in which we apply a tooth-colored composite material to a tooth, shape it, allow it to harden, and polish it. It can be used in certain situations where a tooth has been damaged or become stained. These are generally minor repairs, ones that can be resolved through this relatively inexpensive means rather than through a more costly dental procedure.

Here's How it Works:

Your dentist prepares the tooth surface so that the bonding material will adhere. Once that's been applied, we shape it so that it has a natural appearance. We allow the material to harden, usually with the help of a light. Then, we polish and buff so that the surface is smooth.

This is not a process that we recommend if you are a smoker as smoke causes staining. Also, the material is not as durable as porcelain veneers and crowns so it chips more easily. Eventually, it may require replacing.

Dental bonding it is a perfectly adequate and more affordable solution to certain dental problems. It often takes less time and generally does not require anesthesia. Insurance may cover dental bonding depending on the dental issue.

If you are concerned about cost, pain or the time involved in your dental issue, dental bonding could be a solution for you. Call our office and we can discuss the options with you.
