The Many Benefits of Dental Bonding
There are several treatments available today to address minor aesthetic imperfections in your smile, but many are choosing dental bondingbecause of the unique benefits it provides. The procedure takes just one visit and is a cost-effective, simpler alternative to porcelain veneers or dental crowns. We use composite resin for the procedure – the same material used for tooth-colored fillings. Because resin can be molded and tinted, it can look virtually identical to your natural enamel. To learn more about the benefits of dental bonding, contact our York, PA, dental office and schedule a consultation with Dr. Gordon Bell.
Dental bonding may be the right treatment for you if you desire a fast enhancement in time for a wedding, graduation, or other event.
Uses For Dental Bonding
The composite resin used for dental bonding is extremely versatile and can conceal several cosmetic issues. These include, but are not limited to:
- Chipped teeth
- Gapped, widely spaced teeth
- Misshapen teeth
- Permanently stained teeth
During your consultation, Dr. Bell will examine your smile and take note of your goals to determine if dental bonding can help you achieve the smile you envision.
Why Choose Dental Bonding?
Patients often choose dental bonding because of four unique benefits it provides:
- Fast results: Dental bonding can be completed in a single visit to our office. Solutions such as porcelain veneers and dental crowns typically take at least two office visits to complete, and require extensive planning using dental impressions and mockups.
- Minimal preparation: After a teeth cleaning, Dr. Bell can apply your bonding. The treatment requires no removal of dental tissue. As a result, the treatment is completely reversible. Crowns, on the other hand, require extensive reshaping of a tooth. While our veneers are minimal-prep restorations that often do not require alteration of the tooth, some cases will require some minor preparation.
- Affordability: Bonding is a simple and comparatively affordable treatment that can fit easily into virtually any budget.
- Outstanding results: Using proven dental expertise and an artistic touch, Dr. Bell can apply the resin and make minute refinements to achieve a natural appearance that provides your smile with improved symmetry and a beautiful new overall appearance. Bonding does not last as long as crowns or veneers, but the treatment can help you decide if you wish to undergo a more long-term enhancement.
