Dental Bonding in Centerville
Why
Should I Get Dental Bonding?
Multi-purpose Treatment
Bonding can tackle multiple cosmetic dental issues in a single visit. Whether you've got a chipped tooth, gaps between your teeth, or some discoloration, bonding can help you achieve a more uniform and attractive smile without the need for more extensive or pricey treatments.
Natural-Looking Results
We use a tooth-colored resin that's carefully matched to the shade of your natural teeth, so your bonded teeth will blend in perfectly with your smile. Dr. Ullery is a true artist when it comes to bonding, and she'll make sure your results look and feel completely natural.
Budget-Friendly
Compared to other cosmetic dental treatments, like veneers or crowns, dental bonding is a more affordable option for giving your smile a boost. It's perfect for folks who want to enhance their smile without breaking the bank.
Here’s
How It Works
When you come in for your dental bonding appointment, Dr. Ullery will start by selecting a shade of resin that closely matches your natural tooth color. She'll then gently roughen the surface of the tooth or teeth being treated and apply a conditioning liquid to help the bonding material stick properly.
Next, Dr. Ullery will apply the tooth-colored resin to your tooth, carefully molding and shaping it until it looks just right. Once she's happy with the shape and contour, she'll use a special light to harden the resin, bonding it securely to your tooth.
Finally, Dr. Ullery will trim and polish the bonded tooth to ensure a natural-looking finish that blends seamlessly with your surrounding teeth. She'll also check your bite and make any necessary adjustments to ensure you're comfortable and everything functions properly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions? We’re here to help!
How long does dental bonding last?
With proper TLC, dental bonding can last several years, usually between 3 to 10 years. How long your bonding lasts will depend on things like your oral hygiene habits, diet, and where the bonded tooth is located. To help your bonding last as long as possible, make sure you practice good oral hygiene, avoid biting on hard objects, and schedule regular check-ups with Dr. Ullery.
Is dental bonding painful?
Nope, dental bonding is generally a painless procedure, and most folks don't need anesthesia. But, if your tooth is sensitive or the bonding is being used to fill a cavity, Dr. Ullery may apply a local anesthetic to keep you comfortable throughout the process. If you have any worries about discomfort or anxiety, just let Dr. Ullery know before your treatment, and she'll take great care of you.
