Do you have cracked or misshapen teeth? There are many options to create the perfect-looking smile. One of the options East Village Dental offers is dental bonding!
Dental bonding is an interesting alternative that can do an acceptable job of mimicing natural teeth. Taking a resin material, we can shape, patch, or build up any tooth so that it can both look and function better.
Dental Bonding at East Village Dental
When it comes to obtaining your ideal smile, there are plenty of options available. Many patients that come into our office choose dental bonding because the procedure is:
- Quick.
- Non-intrusive.
- Great for a natural appearance.
Dental bonding is a moderately durable option and will last for years with proper oral hygiene. If you are looking for a relatively inexpensive option, bonding might just be the right fit!
Our dental bonding process can be used to correct everything from minor issues to more concerning ones. Below, we will explain in greater detail some of the most popular reasons why our patients choose dental bonding and answer some of the questions that you probably have.
Dental Bonding for Emergency Tooth Repair
Dental bonding is a great option for fixing minor tooth damage. If there are parts of your teeth that you want to repair, dental bonding can be used as an alternative to veneers or inlays and onlays. These are some of the issues that dental bonding can help correct:
- Chipped teeth.
- Decaying teeth.
- Teeth that are broken or fractured.
- Teeth that are discolored or stained.
- The shape of abnormally small teeth.
Dental Bonding To Replace Silver Fillings
Dental technology has experienced significant advancements over the last couple of decades. It wasn’t too long ago that dentists used silver metal fillings for cavities. Those days are gone. At East Village Dental, we use dental bonding that has a natural, white appearance. These fillings will blend in seamlessly with your teeth. They will:
- Look natural—your friends and family won’t be able to tell that you have them!
- Protect the structure of your tooth that has been damaged by a cavity.
- Maintain great overall oral health.
- Require less tooth removal, so less tooth fractures
If you have old silver fillings that you want to be replaced with a fresh set of amalgam fillings, we are here to get the job done. These new fillings will enhance your smile and provide stronger and more durable protection than traditional fillings.
Bonding vs. Veneers
Dental bonding and porcelain veneers are used to obtain many of the same results. There are a couple of differences that you will want to consider when deciding which option is best for you:
- Porcelain Veneers are typically more expensive.
- Veneers last longer
- Veneers look more natural
- Dental bonding is typically more cost-effective.
- Bonding requires little prep work and can be quickly placed.
- The dental veneer procedure usually requires a couple of different visits to our office.
- Both bonding and veneers can be used to change the shape and appearance of your teeth.
If you have any more questions about which option is best, we are happy to answer them. Call us today to schedule your free consultation!
What Does Dental Bonding Cost?
Each surface that is treated will have bonding specifically created for it. The cost of dental bonding depends on how many surfaces need to be treated. Some insurances cover dental bonding depending on the issue that is addressed.
