Dental Bonding

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

How does dental bonding work?

The tooth is prepared for dental bonding 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 for Dental Bonding

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 tooth enamel, it is more likely to stain, chip or break than natural teeth. Bonding typically lasts three to five years before need of repair.

Our Latest Testimonial

I have been a patient of Dr Levitt's for many years. Every visit is like returning to see family. Dr Levitt and her employees always make patients feel comfortable and stress- free, while at the same time, doing an exceptional job whether you are getting a cleaning, a filling or any type of procedure done. I recently met Dr Irving, and in just 1 visit, can see how she will fit right into this wonderful group of health care professionals. While most people dread the thought of going to the Dentist, Dr Levitt and Associates always seem to make it a pleasurable experience. After meeting Dr Irving, I can honestly say that I would feel as comfortable with her, as I have been with Dr Levitt. I believe she will be a great asset to the practice.
