Bonding
La Marque, TX

Bonding is a conservative method used to repair teeth that are slightly chipped, discolored, or crooked. This procedure involves applying a white filling to the affected tooth in order to enhance its appearance. The filling forms a strong bond with the tooth and is available in various tooth-colored shades, allowing it to closely match the natural teeth.

In addition to its cosmetic benefits, tooth bonding can also be used as an alternative to amalgam fillings. Many patients prefer bonded fillings because the white color is much less noticeable compared to silver amalgam fillings. Depending on the location and severity of tooth decay, bonding fillings can be used on both front and back teeth.

Bonding is a cost-effective cosmetic treatment that typically requires only one visit to our office. However, it is important to note that bonding is more prone to staining and easier to break compared to alternatives like porcelain veneers. In the event of any breakage or chipping, please inform your doctor so that the bonding can be promptly patched or repaired during a single visit.
