Unfortunately, no one is immune to dental problems nor are they impervious to dental accidents. When a tooth has been damaged by injury, it may chip, crack, or fracture. Fortunately, The Oyster Bay Family Dentists can repair the tooth with dental bonding. Dental bonding provides the same aesthetic appearance as tooth enamel, but not the same strength. Therefore, like a natural tooth, it can chip too.
Weakened tooth enamel can be repaired, but once tooth enamel is broken, it will not grow back. Dental bonding is putty like resin that is applied to the tooth, molded, and smoothed to the desired shape. Like enamel, dental bonding can take a beating. If your diet consists of highly acidic foods, the acidity can damage bonding over time. With proper oral care, dental bonding can last for up to seven years. Call us immediately if you notice sharp edges, or if your teeth feel strange when you bite. This is a sign that dental bonding needs a touch-up.
If you have questions or concerns about dental bonding, please give us a call. To learn about the services we provide at the practice, visit www.oysterbaydentists.com for more information.
