Bonding and White Fillings
Everyone wants to feel good about their smile. But chipped, cracked and misaligned teeth can make you feel self-conscious smiling. At The Oyster Bay Family Dentists, we offer solutions in order to help you smile with confidence.
Bonding and white fillings are excellent ways to improve your smile. White fillings are a composite tooth colored filling used in order to repair decayed teeth. White fillings are a great alternative to other types of filling, such as silver. Since they are matched to the color of your teeth, white fillings blend in and are not noticeable.
Bonding is another great way to repair cracked, chipped or discolored teeth. Bonding can also be used to close gaps between the teeth. The bonding process is performed by applying a composite resin to the tooth. The tooth is first prepared by making it a little rough, which helps the resin adhere to the surface of the tooth. After the resin is placed on the tooth, a laser is aimed at it, which helps the resin harden. Excess resin is removed, and the tooth is polished.
White fillings and bonding are great options to improve your smile for several reasons. They can usually be performed in a single office visit and the cost is often less than other types of cosmetic procedures.
Our team at The Oyster Bay Family Dentists believe in providing exceptional customer service and outstanding dental services. For more information on white fillings and bonding, please call our office at 516-922-5730.
