Dental Bondings in Concord, NC

Dental Bonding is a conservative way to add to your natural tooth that can be damaged or misshaped. During dental bonding, a white filling is placed onto your tooth to improve its appearance or shape. The filling bonds with your tooth, and because it comes in a variety of tooth-colored shades, it closely matches the appearance of your natural teeth. If you are wanting to drastically change the shape of the tooth you should consider a porcelain veneer, which can alter the entire shape of the tooth. 

Tooth bonding also can be used for tooth fillings instead of amalgam fillings. Many patients prefer bonded fillings because the white color is much less noticeable than the silver amalgam fillings. Bonding fillings can be used on front and back teeth depending on the location and extent of tooth decay.
Dental Bonding is a conservative way to improve the shape and add to your natural tooth, and usually can be completed in one visit to our office. However, bonding can stain and is easier to break than other cosmetic treatments such as porcelain veneers. If it does break or chip, tell your doctor. The bonding generally can be easily patched or repaired in one visit.
