BENEFITS OF DENTAL BONDING

Bonding is a conservative way to repair slightly chipped, discolored, or crooked teeth. It has many benefits, as it is:

  • Natural-Looking | The filling material comes in a variety of tooth-colored shades that closely match your existing teeth, ensuring a seamless smile.
  • Cost-Effective | More affordable than other cosmetic treatments, dental bonding offers a subtle yet impactful enhancement to your smile.
  • Versatile | Bonding can be used on the front and back teeth as needed, and can also be used instead of amalgam fillings. Many patients prefer bonded fillings because the white color is much less noticeable than silver amalgam fillings.
  • Quick | Dental bonding can usually be completed in one visit to our office, depending on the number of teeth you are having bonded.
  • Non-Invasive | Because the procedure is merely topical and doesn’t require any enamel removed, no anesthetic is needed. Once completed, there is no recovery time.

Dr. Barrineau’s wealth of experience and commitment to high-class craftsmanship is just another of the many reasons to consider dental bonding for your cosmetic dentistry needs.

Caring for Your Bonded Smile

While it is a great solution for correcting minor imperfections in your smile, dental bonding is not as strong as your natural teeth so it should be handled with care. Following these tips will maintain your smile’s integrity:

  • Do brush twice a day, using a non-abrasive toothpaste
  • Do floss at least once a day
  • Do eat a balanced diet, avoiding acidic and teeth-staining foods and beverages
  • Do see your dentist for regular checkups, usually every 6 months
  • Don’t grind your teeth—if this is an issue for you, we recommend nightguards
  • Don’t chew on hard objects such as ice, pens, or fingernails.
  • Don’t use your teeth to open things

Bonding can stain and is easier to break than other cosmetic treatments such as porcelain veneers. If it does break or chip, tell your doctor. The bonding generally can be easily patched or repaired in one visit.
