Tooth bonding can be a quick and economical option to address minor cosmetic concerns or to repair teeth that are chipped, cracked, or damaged. This cosmetic procedure can be completed in our Sandy Springs dentist office, often during a single visit, without needing a numbing agent or local anesthetic.
Cosmetic tooth bonding is the same process as a resin composite dental filling. Dr. Paulen will apply a tooth-colored resin directly to the tooth, sculpt it into the desired shape, and cure the material with a special light. You need little to no tooth preparation! Your cosmetic dentist can complete this procedure in a single dental visit.
You can expect most tooth bonding to last five years or more with proper care and maintenance. The lifespan will depend on how well you practice excellent oral health habits. Avoiding hard, crunchy foods and ice and using a nightguard can also minimize damage or unnecessary wear.
Dental bonding is a relatively affordable procedure, similar in cost to a dental filling. Although commonly covered by dental insurance, it is always best to determine your benefits before your treatment.
Yes, tooth bonding addresses tooth decay and simultaneously enhances the tooth’s appearance. Tooth bonding can change a tooth’s shape, size, and color.
