CREATE A LASTING BOND

Very few people have naturally perfect smiles. The rest of us need a little help. If your smile complaints are minor but bothersome, a technique called bonding could be just what you need to polish that smile.
Bonding uses a strong color-matched material made from silicon and resin that can be used to restore or enhance imperfect teeth. Unlike a major restoration like a crown, bonding is best for small imperfections such as gaps, chips, spots and cracks.
To prepare the tooth for bonding, we must roughen the surface so that the adhesive can get a good grip and then, add a conditioning agent. We apply the bonding material one layer at a time and use a special light to harden each layer. Once the resin is the correct thickness, we sculpt the material to the shape we need. The final step is to buff and polish the tooth.

Caring for a bonded tooth is the same as caring for your natural teeth; however, an abrasive toothpaste can dull the shine and allow stains to develop on your bonded tooth. Frequent smoking, coffee, tea and other dark beverages can quickly stain bonding material. In fact, heavy alcohol consumption will damage the bonding within one year.
With good care, a bonding will provide you with between seven to ten years of beautiful grins. Call us today for a consultation.
