COSMETIC DENTISTRY

COSMETIC BONDING

If you have teeth that have stains that cannot be removed by bleaching, and veneers or crowns are not necessary, then cosmetic bonding might be a good option for you. Cosmetic bonding is an affordable, quick and painless way to repair many cosmetic flaws or injuries, including:

• Gaps in teeth
• Crowded teeth
• Spots, stains, discoloration
• Chipped teeth

Dental bonding sculpts individual teeth without requiring removal of any tooth structure. This technique bonds a composite material that looks, acts and feels like the real thing, to an existing tooth. This procedure usually doesn't require the use of an anesthetic; is relatively quick to apply; gives an immediate result and is less expensive than veneers.

WHITE COMPOSITE FILLINGS

Until recently, dentists used a silver and mercury amalgam to fill and seal cavities. Because more of the original tooth had to be removed, these fillings often weakened teeth. Modern composite and porcelain fillings are stronger, safer, and more natural-looking. Say goodbye to "metal mouth" and hello to a beautiful new smile.
