Cosmetic Bonding
DENTAL COSMETIC BONDING
Dr. Haywood is an artist and can match your natural tooth color expertly. Dental work that goes unnoticed is priceless! Whether you have a cracked, stained, or misaligned tooth - cosmetic bonding is the perfect solution. Dental bonding uses a special resin on the surface of the affected tooth, replacing the missing enamel. Dr. Steven Haywood is able to match the resin to the rest of your teeth giving you a natural and perfect smile!
DENTAL COSMETIC BONDING PROCEDURE
Dental bonding is composed of a ceramic resin that is brushed onto the tooth and hardened with intense light. Prior to bonding application, the tooth surface must be prepared to accept the bonding. This is accomplished by roughening the tooth surface and applying a gel to micro-etch the surface. A primer agent is then applied so the bond will adhere properly. Dental bonding can be used to fill in unsightly gaps, repair damage from decay, and for cosmetic reasons.

BEFORE & AFTER
TESTIMONIALS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long does dental bonding last on front teeth?
Dental bonding may last ten years or as little as three. Proper oral hygiene and healthy eating habits will prolong bonding life. Avoid biting fingernails, chewing ice cubes, and hard candies to ensure those dental bonds last.
What is better veneers or bonding?
Choosing dental bonding or veneers depends on you. If cost savings is an issue, dental bonding is a more affordable, quick, and easy procedure to improve your smile. If you are looking for long-lasting quality and strength in your smile, veneers might be the call. Stain-resistant veneers keep your smile white for a price that many find worth it.
Is dental bonding noticeable?
Dental bonding uses a resin that can match the natural color of your tooth, and this color-matching makes it go unnoticed for some time. Dental bonding will discolor or stain from things like coffee, tea, tobacco, and red wine, so taking care of your teeth affects how long they will look natural.
Can a cracked tooth be bonded?
Yes, a cracked tooth can be bonded. Dental bonding is a standard solution for a cracked tooth, and it is a fast and easy procedure that’s easier on your wallet than veneers while fixing that smile.
What are the holistic dental choices for fillings?
A holistic dental practitioner will use a safe ceramic resin composite filling in many cases. Those concerned about other components of filling materials may choose all ceramic inlays and onlays or 18k gold fillings which have virtually no negative affects in our bodies.
Does a dentist or orthodontist do dental bonding?
Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure that a dentist will do to fix a cracked or chipped tooth. Going to an orthodontist for this fast and simple treatment isn’t necessary.
