Everyone wants a more beautiful smile. It’s one of the first things people notice about us. But what do you do if you want a Hollywood smile and don’t have a movie star budget? Dr. David Matney at Ballston Dental Care has an option that works for almost any budget: Dental bonding. It can fix small cosmetic flaws, usually in just one visit.
With dental bonding, you don’t have to schedule multiple appointments or wait weeks for the result. The whole procedure is usually finished in a single appointment at Ballston Dental. Our team typically needs about 30 – 60 minutes per tooth. Your schedule is busy. But you can still get your smile upgrade without rearranging your entire life.
One of the main benefits of dental bonding is that it’s minimally invasive. No drilling. No removal of your dental enamel. This makes bonding a lot different from porcelain veneers or crowns, both of which permanently change the structure of your tooth. With bonding, your original tooth stays completely intact.
Since dental bonding works only on the surface of your tooth, most people don’t even need anesthesia. There’s no drilling or anything that would cause discomfort. A bonus for people with dental anxiety or phobias.
Have more than one flaw you’d like to fix? No problem! Bonding treatment for teeth is also versatile. It can fix any of these issues:
Dental work is an investment in yourself, and it’s totally worth every penny. With that said, cost shouldn’t keep you from having the smile you want. Dental bonding is one of the most affordable cosmetic treatments. Usually, it’s much more affordable than porcelain veneers or crowns. And you still get noticeable results. A big improvement in your smile’s appearance without a hefty price tag.
You want any dental work you get to look like it belongs in your smile. Dr. David Matney carefully matches the composite resin shade to the exact color of your teeth. After he applies and shapes the resin to your tooth, he polishes it to have the same sheen as your enamel. No one will ever know you’ve had work done.
