If you are unhappy with your smile, you might be looking for dental treatments to help you be more confident. Our Amherst dentist offers a cosmetic dental treatment called composite bonding or dental bonding to help improve the appearance of your smile. Please keep reading to learn more about this treatment, then give us a call to set up a free consultation.
This is a Customized Treatment
If you go in and determine with Dr. Hamill that this is the right treatment for you, you are going to be able to have a customizable treatment. This treatment is unlike porcelain veneers which are generally more expensive and less customizable. The dental bonding that we provide for you can change the size, shape, and color of your natural tooth. We will be able to customize it to your specific goals. Please note that dental bonding is meant to fix minor imperfections and is not necessarily suitable for a more severe dental problem.
It is a Quick and Easy Treatment
Unlike porcelain veneers that require a few visits to our office, composite bonding just takes one quick visit. Also, it is less involved than veneers. When you get a veneer placed, you need to shave away some of the natural tooth structure to place them, but that does not happen with dental bonding. You do not need to have any numbing as it will not be a painful procedure and you can immediately go about your day afterward.
This is Affordable
When you compare dental bonding with porcelain veneers, it is much more affordable. While porcelain veneers offer a beautiful result that can be worth the price, you can expect to be spending thousands of dollars to get a full set of veneers. Composite bonding allows you to get a very similar and gorgeous result that looks great but does not cost as much as veneers.
They Last a Long Time
Don’t mistake affordable with less durable. When you take care of your dental bonding, it can last for many years. When you get composite bonding, our Amherst dentist Dr. Hamill is going to go over how to care for your new teeth so that you can maintain this look and have them last for a long time. You will be asked to avoid certain behaviors like chewing on ice or hard candy. If you are someone who grinds their teeth, we can address that so that it does not affect your bonding.
You Can Reverse the Treatment
If you are looking to commit to porcelain veneers, getting composite bonding can be a good way to see if you would like the look. Dental bonding is reversible so you could potentially use it as a trial run before you fully commit to getting veneers. You can get used to the look and feel of what veneers would be like before you jump right in. You are not making a forever commitment to dental bonding.
