If you are looking for simple, conservative ways to enhance your smile, our dentist may recommend dental bonding. This cosmetic treatment can correct a number of conditions, including chipped teeth, spacing issues, severe staining and discolorations, abfractions, and exposed root surfaces. Dental bonding may be recommended as a purely cosmetic procedure or, if necessary, to restore damage to your teeth.
Materials Used in Dental Bonding
At Davidson Cosmetic & Family Dentistry, we use only the highest quality of materials for your dental bonding. Dr. Michael Wilhite has been intrigued by advances in materials and adhesives since dental school, and our team conducts research to find the latest and most up-to-date resin composite materials, searching for products that have a proven track record of strength, durability and beauty in order to provide high-quality care and create the most realistic-looking restorations. We do not use any base metals in your dental bonding or filling treatment, and all materials used by our dentist are hypoallergenic and BPA-free.
The Longevity of Bonding Treatments
When you receive dental bonding, our dentist will use the tooth-colored resin material to rebuild the damaged or broken tooth or to cover a defect in the tooth’s appearance. The resin is applied and shaped to match the contours of the tooth. It is then hardened and polished to provide a lasting solution.
No bonding or filling treatment is guaranteed to last forever. The pressure placed on your teeth by chewing and grinding can crack fillings and bondings in just a couple of years. However, due to the fact that we combine the best materials with years of experience, we have patients whose restorations have lasted for over 20 years! Using precise surface preparation, fresh chemistry, and strict compliance with manufacturer’s directions, Dr. Mike works hard to create beautiful restorations that last a lifetime.
