Bonding is a conservative technique used to enhance the appearance of slightly chipped, discolored, or misaligned teeth, with a primary focus on cosmetic improvement. This method involves applying a tooth-colored filling to the affected tooth, which adheres effectively and blends seamlessly with your natural teeth due to its wide range of shades. In addition to cosmetic applications, bonding serves as an alternative to traditional amalgam fillings. Many patients opt for bonded fillings since the white color is far less visible compared to the metallic look of amalgam fillings. Depending on the severity and location of tooth decay, bonding can be utilized for both anterior and posterior teeth. Bonding is typically more affordable than other cosmetic options and can often be completed in a single visit to our clinic. However, it's important to note that bonding may be more prone to staining and chipping than treatments like porcelain veneers. Should your bonding chip or break, please reach out to us. We can usually repair it during one visit.
"I cannot recommend Dr. Rafaela enough.. I had extreme anxiety about going to the dentist and had such bad experiences that I avoided going for 7 years. I have really sensitive teeth which makes cleanings usually very painful for me but she was so gentle while also being very thorough. When I went back to her for fillings it was the same relaxing and enjoyable experience. I am so happy that I found her she really changed the way I feel about dental visits and now I will bring my kids for their cleanings here as well."
