What is Dental Bonding?
Also known as
, this versatile procedure is designed to enhance the appearance of teeth and address various dental concerns. As mentioned above, composite resin matching your natural enamel shade is applied to the surface of your tooth and then shaped and smoothed to create a seamless result.We invite you to experience gentle, advanced dental care designed for your specific needs, and leave each visit feeling both at ease and assured that your dental health is in the best hands.
Our dentist can use bonding to restore and improve:
- Chipped teeth
- Cracked teeth
- Discolored teeth
- Minor misalignment (gaps or spaces)
- Irregularly shaped teeth
The adaptability of dental bonding translates into a quick and effective solution for patients seeking to enhance their smiles. Keep in mind, however, that tooth bonding is ideal for aesthetic fixes, not for more severe issues. For instance, if a crack is deep enough or teeth are misaligned to the point that orthodontic treatment is needed, Dr. Klein will need to move in a different direction.
What Makes Dental Bonding Appealing?
Compared to other similar cosmetic dental treatments, bonding is more affordable and cost-effective as patients are often only having one tooth worked on at a time. Additionally, the procedure doesn't typically involve any local anesthetic and no enamel is removed. That means more of your natural tooth is preserved for a strong, yet beautiful final look.
Immediate results are also a huge benefit of dental bonding. Unlike porcelain veneers that require multiple visits to our Grandville, MI, dental office to complete, bonding often allows patients to see a noticeable improvement in the appearance of their teeth in a single visit. Depending on the number of teeth you need bonded, that's 30-60 minutes per tooth.
