Dental Bonding and White Fillings in Calgary

What is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure that uses a tooth-colored resin material to repair and improve the appearance of teeth. This quick and minimally invasive treatment is ideal for fixing chips, cracks, gaps, and discolored or misshapen teeth. Dental bonding is a great option for patients seeking an affordable way to enhance their smile without extensive dental work.

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!

Bonding is an exciting alternative that can reasonably mimic natural teeth. Using resin material, we can shape, patch, or build up any tooth so that it looks and functions better.

Our dental bonding process can correct everything from minor to more concerning. Below, we will explain in greater detail some of the most popular reasons why our patients choose tooth bonding and answer some of the questions that you probably have.

Emergency Chipped Tooth Repair with Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is an excellent option for fixing minor tooth damage, such as a broken or chipped tooth. If there are parts of your teeth that you want to repair, tooth bonding can be used as an alternative to veneers or inlays and onlays. These are some of the issues that tooth 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.

Bonding involves applying a composite resin to the damaged tooth to restore its appearance and function.

Composite 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. The bonding material strongly bonds the natural tooth enamel, creating a seamless and durable finish. 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 a cavity has damaged.
Maintain excellent overall oral health.
Require less tooth removal, so fewer tooth fractures

We are here to get the job done if you have old silver fillings that you want replaced with a fresh set of amalgam fillings. These new fillings will enhance your smile and provide more robust and more durable protection than traditional fillings.

Dental Bonding vs Veneers

Dental bonding and porcelain veneers are used to obtain many of the same results as other cosmetic dental procedures. 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
Bonding is typically more cost-effective.
Bonding requires little prep work and can be quickly placed.
The dental veneer procedure usually requires several visits to our office.
Both bonding and veneers can be used to change the shape and appearance of your teeth.

Both are popular options in cosmetic dentistry for enhancing the appearance of 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!

How Long Does Dental Bonding Last? Maintenance and Longevity

On average, dental bonding lasts between 5 to 10 years, depending on factors such as oral hygiene, eating habits, and lifestyle. To maximize the lifespan of bonded teeth, it is important to avoid biting on hard objects, limit stain-causing foods and drinks (like coffee and red wine), and refrain from habits like nail-biting or pen chewing. Regular dental checkups and professional cleanings help maintain the bonding’s appearance and durability.

Is Dental Bonding Right for Me?

Calgary patients commonly choose dental bonding for many reasons, including:

Repairing chipped, cracked, or fractured teeth
Closing small gaps between teeth
Reshaping abnormally small or misshapen teeth
Covering discoloration or staining that teeth whitening cannot resolve
Protecting exposed roots caused by gum recession
Replacing old silver fillings with natural white composite resin

If any of these situations describe your dental needs, dental bonding could be an effective and affordable solution to improve your smile.

Dental Bonding Cost in Calgary

Bonding will be specifically created for each surface that is treated. The cost of dental bonding depends on the number of surfaces that need to be treated. Some insurances cover dental bonding, depending on the issue that is addressed.

Dental Tooth bonding is more cost-effective than other dental treatments like crowns and veneers. Talk to our team for a better idea of the price of tooth bonding. Even if insurance doesn’t cover the bonding, the cost is relatively inexpensive compared to other dental procedures.
