Dental Bonding

How would you like to enhance the look of your smile in just one visit with us? Our dentists will be happy to see you for an appointment for dental bonding in Grottoes, Virginia, to repair minor smile damage. To meet with Dr. Dylan Hall to see if this is the treatment for you, call Grottoes Family Dentistry at 540-249-4242.

Dental bonding is usually recommended to close gaps and spaces between the teeth, improve misshapen teeth, whiten severely stained teeth, or restore cracked or chipped teeth. Dental bonding is among the quickest and most conservative treatments available to improve the appearance of your teeth, as it involves little or no removal of your original tooth structure and can typically be completed in a single appointment. The bonding procedure is also very comfortable and does not usually require any anesthetic.

When you receive dental bonding, our dentists will work with you to select a shade of composite resin that matches the color of your teeth in order to produce a natural-looking result. A slightly lighter shade may be used if you are receiving bonding to lighten stained or discolored teeth. After the bonding material has been selected, our dentists will carefully place it onto your tooth structure and shape and sculpt it to fit your teeth and correct the flaws in your smile. After the resin has been placed and shaped, we will harden, trim and polish it to complete your treatment and provide you with a long-lasting solution for your smile.

FAQS ABOUT DENTAL BONDING

Q: What can cosmetic bonding fix?

Cosmetic bonding uses tooth-colored composite resin to fix chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth, close small gaps, reshape teeth, and protect exposed roots. This versatile, affordable treatment can dramatically improve your smile in a single visit.

Q: How long does cosmetic bonding last?

Cosmetic bonding typically lasts 3-7 years, depending on your oral habits and the location of the bonding. To maximize longevity, avoid biting hard objects, limit staining foods and drinks, and maintain good oral hygiene.

Q: Is the bonding procedure painful?

Cosmetic bonding is generally painless and usually doesn't require anesthesia. The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes per tooth with no discomfort during or after the procedure.

Q: How does bonding compare to veneers?

Bonding is more affordable and completed in a single visit with little tooth preparation, while veneers require multiple appointments and cost more. Veneers are more durable and stain-resistant, making them better for extensive smile makeovers.

Q: Will bonded teeth look natural?

Yes, the composite resin is carefully matched to your natural tooth color and shaped to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth. Most people won't be able to tell which teeth have been bonded once the procedure is complete.

Q: How do I care for bonded teeth?

Care for bonded teeth like your natural teeth with regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups. Limit staining substances like coffee and tea, and avoid biting hard objects to prevent damage.
