Not completely thrilled with the appearance of your smile? It’s important when this happens to ask yourself if you’re dealing with a widespread issue, such as comprehensive misalignment, or if you’re unhappy as the result of small imperfections. If your problem includes areas of missing tissue, a few open spaces, or a small crack, your concern may be quite easy to address. Fortunately, we offer dental bonding to cover problems, extend tooth tissue, fill in chips, and close spaces between teeth. If you are feeling excited about this (or have already been considering  bonding), you may still have some questions about what to expect. Clear up any hesitation with the following:

Questions and Answers About Dental Bonding

Question: Will I need to schedule multiple appointments?

Answer: No, dental bonding is quite convenient. We will apply liquid composite to the target area that you would like to improve. Once we sculpt the material – a color-customizable, synthetic acrylic resin – we will set it. Before you leave, we will polish your entire tooth for a natural, beautiful shine. This is quite efficient and typically requires only a single visit.

Question: I’m a little nervous about new procedures – will you need to apply anesthesia to complete bonding?

Answer: No, dental bonding is completely noninvasive and completely comfortable. We will simply apply composite to a particular portion of your tooth and will use a special curing light to set it. There is no need for anesthesia or sedation of any kind.

Question: I’ve been considering a variety of cosmetic treatments. Is bonding affordable?

Answer: Within the list of cosmetic options to improve your smile, dental bonding is going to provide you with a wonderful solution that requires the smallest investment. This is particularly true when you compare the cost of bonding with the investment required of porcelain veneers. Please speak with us during your visit for more specific details.
