Dental Bonding Breakage

Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure that our doctors at Advantage Dentistry use to fix chips, cracks, or fractures in teeth. Accidents happen, so if you chip a tooth, dental bonding can be used to repair it. Though dental bonding has the same appearance of tooth enamel, it doesn’t have the same strength. Though dental bonding has many advantages and can last up to 7 years with proper oral hygiene, we’d like to let you know what to do if the bonding breaks.

Dental bonding is made up of composite resin like clay, and it molds to the tooth that needs repair. The success of your bonding isn’t up to the dentist however, it’s up to you. Dental bonding can be damaged by acidic foods and eventually wear over time if a patient isn’t careful. It’s important to brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss at least once a day to ensure that the bonding stays intact. If you notice a difference in the tooth that has been bonded or notice chips or cracks on the tooth, give us a call immediately as it may need to be restored.

Dental Bonding

Repairing chips and cracks in your smile is easy and affordable. If you have been hiding your smile because of a chip, discoloration, or even a misalignment, dental bonding may be what you have been waiting for. At Advantage Dentistry here in Kenmore, NY, we offer our patients dental bonding so that they can get back the smile they are happy to show off!

Chips and cracks weaken teeth and pave the road for future complications. In addition, they can really make a smile appear dull and unsightly. Thankfully, there is a solution. In our Kenmore, NY dental practice, we have been restoring the smiles and the oral health of our patients by providing dental bonding. Bonding is a process where a tooth-colored composite resin is used to fix an imperfection or fill a cavity.  Your dentist will lightly etch the surface of the tooth to create a strong bond, and the resin is shaped over the chip or gap. For whitening, the resin is painted over the whole tooth. A light is used to harden the resin and then it is polished to shine like a real tooth.

If you are unhappy with your smile, consider getting an upgrade with dental bonding! To schedule your appointment with Advantage Dentistry of Kenmore, NY, call our office at (716) 877-2275 or visit our website, www.advantagedentistry.com.
