Teeth Bonding

In Stow and Akron-Canton, Ohio

Bonding is an alternative to veneers, and can be used as a restorative procedure for teeth that are chipped, cracked, discolored, or misarranged.

How does it work?

The tooth is prepared for the procedure by lightly etching the surface and applying a bonding liquid. Once the liquid sets, a plastic resin is applied and sculpted into the desired shape by the dentist. Once set, the resin is trimmed, smoothed, and polished to a natural appearance.

Considerations

The bonding procedure can often be completed in a single office visit and can improve the appearance of a tooth significantly. However, since the plastic resin used is not as strong as your natural teeth, bonding typically lasts three to five years before need of repair.

Key Benefits:

• can be accomplished in 1 visit
• less expensive than veneers
• choice if only a few teeth need restored
