Since so much of our self-esteem is tied up in our teeth, Dr. Zipfel believes that administering treatment quickly and giving patients healthy teeth and gums is enormously important. "We try to get people in the office right away and we really listen to what they need. If there is a problem that can be fixed, we fix it right away while the patient is there in the chair." Bonding is a process where we apply a tooth-colored plastic resin material to the tooth and then harden it with a special light, thus bonding the resin to the tooth. Bonding allows us to leave most of your natural tooth intact.
Dental Bonding is used to:
- Change the size, shape, or color of a tooth
- Repair a chipped tooth
- Lengthen a tooth, so it will complement the teeth next to it
- Close gaps between teeth
- Re-contour the whole mouth, as an alternative to using crowns
Although bonding materials are generally not as durable as the materials used for veneers or crowns, there is the advantage that, in most cases, the bonding procedure can be completed in one appointment and does not require the services of a separate dental laboratory.
