Dental Bondling
Dental bonding is a quick and affordable way to repair minor imperfections like chips, cracks, and gaps.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding involves the application of a tooth-colored resin material to the surface of your teeth. This resin is carefully sculpted, shaped, and hardened using a special light, bonding it securely to the tooth. The result is a natural-looking restoration that blends seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
How does it work?
The tooth is prepared for the procedure by lightly etching the surface and applying a bonding liquid. Once the liquid sets, a plastic resin is applied and sculpted into the desired shape by the dentist. Once set, the resin is trimmed, smoothed and polished to a natural appearance.
Benefits of Dental Bonding
Versatile: Dental bonding can be used to address a variety of cosmetic concerns, including:
- Repairing chipped or cracked teeth
- Closing gaps between teeth
- Reshaping teeth that are too short or irregularly shaped
- Covering discoloration or stains
- Protecting exposed roots due to receding gums
Is Dental Bonding Right for You?
Dental bonding is an excellent option for those looking to correct minor cosmetic imperfections quickly and affordably. However, it may not be suitable for everyone. If you have extensive damage or decay, other treatments such as veneers or crowns might be more appropriate. During your consultation, your dentist will evaluate your oral health and discuss your cosmetic goals to determine the best treatment plan for you.

Process
Invisalign treatment is the process of wearing a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth. No brackets and wires, and none of the restrictions that come with metal braces.
Your Invisalign doctor will create a unique, digital treatment plan that maps out the exact movements of your teeth. Your Invisalign clear aligners are then designed to apply the right amount of force to the right place at the right time based on your plan. Your Invisalign doctor will be with you every step of the way to monitor your progress and ensure your aligners fit correctly.
Invisalign clear aligners are virtually invisible — people may not even notice you’re wearing them. You can remove them to eat and drink, to brush and floss, or for special occasions. There are no metal brackets or wires that could irritate your mouth or break. Unlike other brands, Invisalign clear aligners are made from patented SmartTrack material, which makes them comfortable and provides a better fit. Invisalign aligners are also trimmed based on your gum line for comfort and appearance.
Treatment

Maintenance
Invisalign® aligners are virtually invisible. Others may not even notice you’re wearing them, making Invisalign treatment a seamless fit with your lifestyle.
Yes, you can remove your Invisalign aligners for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. You can take them off for special occasions, like a wedding, job interview, or for playing your favorite sport or instrument. Your doctor will tell you how long to wear your aligners each day, but typically people wear their Invisalign aligners 20 to 22 hours a day to get the best results.
None! Invisalign clear aligners are removable, so there are no food restrictions at all (hello popcorn!). With traditional wires and brackets, there’s a long list of foods you unfortunately can’t enjoy because they can damage or get stuck in your braces
