Dental Bonding

Dental Bonding in Chesapeake VA

Dental bonding is typically used to restore the appearance of discolored or chipped teeth. It's a procedure where a dentist applies a tooth-colored resin material to a tooth and cures it with a high intensity curing light. The procedure gets its name because materials are bonded to your teeth to improve its overall appearance. Bonding is also used to close space between teeth, as well as change the shape of teeth.

Reasons for dental bonding include:

  • Decayed teeth
  • Chipped or cracked teeth
  • Discolored teeth
  • Spaces between teeth
  • Misshapen teeth
  • "Short looking" teeth
  • Cosmetic alternative to amalgam fillings
  • Tooth’s root exposed because of gums receding

Just because you have a chipped tooth doesn't mean it must stay that way. Dr. Webb will restore your smile back to the way it used to be. Not only improving your smile, but improving your health too. Dr. Webb is your local professional dentist for dental bonding! 

Why Choose Dental Bonding?

The first reason to choose dental bonding is because it is one of the most common and least expensive cosmetic dentistry procedures. It normally takes one visit to complete a bonding procedure, unless multiple teeth need to be bonded. Dental bonding includes the advantage of requiring little to no removal of tooth enamel, unlike veneers and crowns.

How To Take Care of Your Bonded Teeth

Bonded teeth require the same amount of care and maintenance as your natural teeth. This includes necessary care and good oral hygiene habits to maintain a healthy and beautiful smile. Brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing are essential to good oral health. We recommend routine dental checkups twice a year so we may look for issues and check if you are maintaining a healthy and beautiful smile. 

The material added onto your teeth from dental bonding can chip, like a normal tooth. Be careful when eating hard food. Avoid biting your fingernails, chewing on pens, or other hard objects because you may chip your bond. If you ever think your bond has chipped, then contact us so we can verify and correct the issue.
