What is cosmetic bonding?
Cosmetic bonding is a way to fix gaps, stains, spots, or chipped teeth without having to remove any tooth structure. It’s a simple, painless procedure bonding a composite material directly to the teeth for immediate results. Cosmetic bonding is a cost effective way to achieve a healthy, confident smile.
How do I know if I’m a candidate for cosmetic bonding?
If you have gaps in your front teeth, stains, chips, or any other damage that has diminished your smile, cosmetic bonding may be for you. This procedure is also beneficial for people suffering from gum recession and tooth decay. We offer a complementary consultation where you can discuss cosmetic bonding and other options with Dr. Huefner.
What are the pros and cons of cosmetic bonding?
The biggest advantages of cosmetic bonding is that it’s a quick and painless way to enhance your smile. In addition, the durable bonding material looks and feels like your natural tooth enamel. Dr. Huefner also uses state-of-the-art light treated bonding that creates a hard durable surface that strengthens and supports your teeth. One of the few draw backs to cosmetic bonding is that although it costs less than porcelain veneers and they’re easy to fix if they chip, dental bonding requires more maintenance.
How long do they last?
Cosmetic dental bonding can last up to eleven years. It’s also safer and more aesthetically pleasing than the traditional silver fillings. And repairs are easy and cost effective. Keep in mind that good dental hygiene, which includes brushing, flossing, and regular dental check ups, is the first line of defense it maintaining a healthy, beautiful smile.
How long does the procedure take?
Cosmetic bonding can be done in one office visit. After applying a thin coating of material on the front surface of your teeth, Dr. Huefner will apply the bonding material, then sculpt, shape, and color it until you have a pleasant, healthy smile. Talk with Dr. Huefner about a complete smile makeover when you have your initial consult.
How do I schedule an appointment?
You can schedule an appointment online or by calling the office. Our initial consultation is free, and Dr. Huefner will discuss any and all dental options that are appropriate for you.
