Teeth Bonding

Burke, Fairfax and Fairfax Station, Virginia

Teeth bonding is done with a composite resin that can restore both aesthetics and function to your smile. Placed on both the front and back of teeth, the composite resin used in teeth bonding provides a strong, long-lasting, and seamless appearance to smiles impacted by decay or marred by cosmetic imperfections such as:

• Chipped teeth
• Misshapen teeth
• Gapped teeth
• Severe discoloration

At our offices in Burke, Virginia, cosmetic dentist Pamela Marzban can use teeth bonding to cover these minor flaws and imperfections. For patients with more serious aesthetic and functional issues, options including porcelain veneers and white fillings may be more suitable.

Teeth Bonding Benefits

 

The main advantage of teeth bonding is apparent when compared to silver fillings. Silver fillings are unsightly and also much less structurally sound than the composite resin used in teeth boding.

The resin used in teeth bonding is placed over the area of decay, working to seal out further decay and protect your natural tooth. Because it is placed over your tooth, it strengthens the surface of your tooth while preserving your smile’s natural appearance. Colored and shaped to precisely match adjacent teeth, composite resin is unnoticeable, and provides for a seamless, natural looking smile.

Teeth bonding also requires very little of your natural tooth to be removed for these procedures, allowing more of your natural tooth to be preserved. Moreover, teeth bonding is done in one office visit, making it a much simpler and faster procedure than other forms of decay prevention such as porcelain crowns.

The material used in teeth bonding is not as strong as other restorative options, and may discolor, chip, or break over time. Knowing that the needs of each patient are unique, Dr. Marzban will discuss all of your options with you during your initial consultation.
