Dental Bonding in Exton

Repairing And Reshaping Your Teeth Has Never Been Easier!

Not everyone is born with a Hollywood smile, and whether it’s due to genetics or the wear and tear that our teeth have gone through, sometimes we want to improve our appearance without having to undergo a major procedure. That’s exactly where bonding comes in, and it’s something that the team at Exton Family Dentist have years of experience with.

In teeth with minor imperfections, such as a small chip, discoloration, or a slightly misshapen tooth, bonding may be used to improve appearance. Using a resin that matches your current tooth color, we will repair chips and reshape teeth to help improve your overall oral functionality. Whether you experience sensitivity from exposed roots or you have large gaps, bonding can be an easy solution to quickly enhance your smile. We match the resin exactly so that no one will know you’ve had bonding done, but if you plan on whitening your teeth, it’s recommended that you complete that process first.

The process of bonding is quite straightforward, as we begin by etching the affected tooth to create a surface that is easier for the material to adhere to. An ultraviolet light cures the resin after it’s been placed, and once the procedure is complete, you’ll be able to speak and eat normally.

Dental bonding is usually recommended for the following situations:

• The roots of your teeth are exposed and need to be covered
• Your teeth are either chipped or cracked
• There are amalgam fillings which need to be replaced
• Few of your teeth have become yellow and stained compared to the rest
• You need to correct the alignment or shape of your teeth
• Your teeth are affected by receding gums and thus need correction

Advantages of Tooth-Colored Fillings

• Attractive – Tooth-colored fillings portray a convincingly natural look. They’ll fit right in with your real pearly whites.
• Healthy – White fillings are composed of a highly biocompatible material.
• Low Risk – There is a low risk of side effects associated with white fillings. Chances are, you won’t experience an allergic reaction or metal sensitivity.

Tooth bonding can enhance your smile and correct slight imperfections in your teeth. Our team can help you decide whether bonding or another cosmetic dental treatment, such as a crown or veneers, will be best for you.
