Even if you have perfectly healthy teeth and gums, one chipped tooth can take over your entire smile. And that’s a shame, especially when cosmetic dentistry options like dental bonding are more accessible than ever. The good news is that Dr. David Matney at Ballston Dental Care in Arlington, Virginia, is here to help you achieve a smile you’ll love.
With dental bonding, you don’t need several visits and a long waiting period before you see changes. This treatment usually takes just 30 to 60 minutes per tooth. That means less time in the chair and more time returning to your day. And there’s no special prep or downtime needed either.
No drills, no needles, no numbing. Dental bonding is one of the most comfortable treatments offered by the team at our office. The resin is applied directly and shaped to fit your tooth. Once that’s done, your dentist cures it with a special light. If you’ve been nervous about cosmetic work, you can rest easy knowing this treatment is smooth and pain-free.
Dental bonding is extremely versatile. It can address any of these issues:
The resin is tinted to match your natural teeth. It’s subtle enough that no one will notice, but you’ll feel the difference.
Most people want results that are not costly. Dental bonding gives you a cosmetic boost for less than you would pay for veneers or crowns. It’s a solid choice if you want to change but aren’t ready for procedures or higher price tags.
One of the huge benefits of bonding is that it keeps your natural tooth structure intact. There’s no need to remove your dental enamel or reshape anything. Just put a little resin on the surface, and you’re done. The process is so gentle you might not even feel like anything was done until you see your beautiful new smile.
Once hardened, bonding resin is remarkably tough. It can handle normal chewing and wear and tear without problems. With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, dental bonding will hold up for years. And if it ever needs a quick touch-up, the process is just as easy the second time around.
Every smile is unique. Dr. Matney takes the time to understand exactly what you want. Most importantly, your treatment is tailored to your goals, front and center. You’ll get a result that suits your face and feels right, not something that looks copy-pasted. Whether you’re trying to improve one tooth or do a smile makeover, the team will build a treatment plan that works for you.
