Cosmetic Bonding Explained In 5 Simple Ways

Today is the summer solstice; the longest day of the year. It is also the hottest day on record since 1976. Phew! Aside from that, we would like to discuss a very cool treatment- cosmetic bonding. Never heard of it? Well, let us explain in 5 simple ways:

  1. Cosmetic bonding can correct mis shaped, uneven, spaced teeth in ONE visit
  2. The treatment requires NO drilling of your teeth
  3. There is NO need for any needles
  4. It is reversible
  5. It is affordable

Cosmetic bonding involves very careful layered placement of highly aesthetic composite white filling material which is then contoured and polished meticulously. It is easier to see with your own eyes:

In the past, cosmetic dentistry would involve cutting down your teeth for porcelain veneers (remember Extreme Makeover anyone?). Although these look great, just think of the cost (not just monetary!)- all of the tooth enamel gone. Enamel is the hardest tissue in the body; why remove it when you can enhance it. If you are considering a smile transformation this summer, think of cosmetic bonding and think of Progressive Dentistry. Call us today.

Tooth Wear & Cosmetic Bonding Case Of The Month

Our case of the month for November 2021 was a classic tooth bonding case involving severe tooth wear. Tooth wear is an increasing problem with grinding at night becoming an ever increasing problem coupled with acid in the diet.
