FAQ - Dental Tooth Bonding
Pittsburgh, Cranberry, Wexford - Pennsylvania
What is tooth bonding?
Dental, or composite, tooth bonding is a procedure in which a strong resin compound is applied to damaged teeth. This tooth colored resin provides a strong, durable repair with a tooth-like finish.
How is dental tooth bonding different from other reconstructive procedures?
Tooth bonding is a direct procedure, meaning that the tooth bonding resin is applied directly to the tooth and then shaped directly on the tooth. This is a quick and effective treatment for a variety of types of damage, from staining and pitting to serious decay.
Is tooth bonding right for me?
Depending on your specific problems, you may have a range of options. Tooth bonding is an excellent choice for a variety of structural and cosmetic issues, from deep staining to tooth decay.
If you're not sure what procedure is right for you, call or email our offices today to schedule your personal consultation and to review your options.
How long will my bonding last?
This will vary depending on the type of bonding you've had done, the quality of dental maintenance, and other factors. In general, tooth bonding does not last as long as porcelain fillings or similar procedures, but your bond can be expected to last from 7 to 10 years or longer with proper care.
How long will the procedure take?
Dental tooth bonding is completed in a single office visit, and usually takes about the same amount of time that a metal amalgam filling would take.
