Dental Bonding

While dental bonding is typically used to make minor cosmetic adjustments, it can also help restore decayed teeth, repair chips or cracks, improve the appearance of discolored teeth, and change tooth shape.

How Long Does Dental Bonding Take?

Dental bonding can take 30 to 60 minutes per tooth. Your dentist will begin by preparing the tooth with an etching solution before applying and shaping a resin. This resin is sealed with a special light and then polished to match the appearance of your other teeth.

Advantages Of Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is easy, affordable, and can often be completed in a single office visit. After application, and with regular care, hygiene, good diet and prevention, dental bonding can last up to 10 years before needing to be touched up or replaced.

CAVITY FILLINGSTooth Colored Dental Fillings

Cavities are among the most common problems for most dental patients, making cavity fillings one of the most routine procedures. Getting a cavity filled typically only takes a few minutes. Your dentist may take X-rays beforehand and will numb your teeth and gums to prevent discomfort during the procedure.

Tooth Colored Dental Fillings

A tooth-colored filling is also referred to as a composite filling. These types of dental fillings are cured with a special light, shaped, and then polished. We bond them directly to the surface of your teeth so you’re left with a healthier tooth structure compared to the procedure with silver fillings.

After the treatment, you’ll have restoration that seamlessly matches the look of your teeth. Tooth-colored fillings are known for being strong and durable, and they also feel natural in your mouth!

Visit us for a dental checkup to examine your mouth for cavities and discuss your options for fillings.
