Thanks to dental bonding, you can have your
chipped or cracked teeth repaired without having to spend more than one appointment
in the dentist’s chair. These days your dentist can bond ceramic or other
restorative materials on to your natural teeth to repair cracks or chips.
When you schedule a restorative and cosmetic consultation
with your dentist, ask about cosmetic bonding. Dental bonding is the perfect
solution if you are unsure about dental veneers. Dental veneers are a great
option, but are permanent and more expensive than dental bonding. Some
insurance companies will cover dental bonding but not porcelain veneers.
You may be a good candidate for dental bonding if:
- You have spaces between your teeth
- Your teeth are chipped or cracked
- You have one or more teeth that is too long or short
- Your teeth are stained
- Tooth whitening doesn’t work
Enamel Shaping
Often used with bonding, enamel shaping is a
comfortable and quick cosmetic dental procedure that will give you immediate
results. Gentle Touch Family Dentistry will contour and/or remove your enamel
to improve the appearance of your teeth.
Dental Fillings
These days the materials that are used for
dental bonding are more natural looking and resilient. Depending on the
location of the cavity or filling replacement, Gentle Touch Family Dentistry
may choose to use dental bonding material to fill a cavity or an inlay or
outlay. Both are used to strengthen a tooth that still has life to it.
Instead of Veneers
As mentioned previously, bonding is not as
invasive as porcelain veneers and is reversible. Dental bonding will give you a
good idea of what you will look like if you opt for veneers.
Ask Gentle Touch about seeing a picture of
your smile. Seeing your smile before anything occurs means to more unfortunate
cosmetic dental mishaps.
