Dental Bonding

Composite resin bonding is a popular choice for patients who need to repair a chipped or broken tooth. This material is like a clay that is applied to the tooth and shaped in place. Then, it is hardened with a special light and filed down by the dentist. It is smoothed out and polished to match the existing enamel and patients can leave the practice in the same day with a brand new look!

Porcelain Veneers

Another option for covering imperfections such as broken teeth is with the use of porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are restorations made of ceramic. They are fabricated to match the color, shape, and size of the natural teeth to help them blend in perfectly. They do take longer to prepare than dental bonding and are irreversible, so patients need to make sure they are ready for using porcelain veneers for years to come.

Every dental situation is different which is why it is so important for patients to speak with a dental professional who can provide several different options for each scenario. We encourage patients to have a thorough evaluation done in our practice and then discuss the possibilities for treatment. Not every situation has a “one size fits all” solution so we work within individuals to determine what is best for their specific needs.
