Dental Bonding in Sugar Hill

Serving Patients in Sugar Hill, Johns Creek, Suwanee, and Buford

If you’re looking for a simple and inexpensive way to cover up small dental flaws — like stains, chips or spaces between the teeth — dental bonding might fit the bill. The cosmetic dentistry treatment involves applying a tooth-colored resin material to the surface of the teeth to improve their shape, size or color. The process is quick and easy, and the results can last a very long time. Our team offers dental bonding in Sugar Hill and the surrounding communities.

What Can Dental Bonding Correct?

Dental bonding is a versatile treatment that can correct a number of cosmetic problems, including the following:

  • Small chips or cracks in the teeth
  • Stains or discoloration that won’t respond to whitening treatment
  • Teeth that are considerably smaller than the others
  • Irregularly shaped teeth
  • Small spaces or gaps in between the teeth
  • Exposed tooth roots due to gum recession.

Bonding is typically recommended for superficial damage only. Tooth damage that is more serious in nature may require a more comprehensive restoration, such as a crown or a filling.

Patients love dental bonding because it is cost-effective and can be completed in a single appointment without any wait time. Some patients opt to have their teeth bonded as a temporary fix, while they wait to have veneers placed.

Treatment Details

Dental bonding can be completed in a single appointment and does not require anesthesia. First, the resin material will be selected to match your surrounding natural teeth. The surface of the tooth or teeth to be bonded will be gently etched, so the resin material can adhere more closely. The dentist will paint the bonding material onto the tooth to cover up small flaws or improve its size, shape or color.

Short teeth can be made longer, small teeth can be widened and stains can be covered up. Sometimes bonding is used to cover up tooth roots that are exposed because of gum recession; or, occasionally, bonding material is used as an alternative to traditional fillings. The bonding material is flexible and can be sculpted as needed to achieve the desired results.

Once the dentist is satisfied with the bonded tooth, he will use a special light to harden the bonding material. After the bonding material is set, the dentist will polish the tooth so it looks translucent next to the surrounding teeth.

Bonded teeth should be cared for just like natural teeth to prevent any problems. Brush and floss daily and see our dentists at least every six months for a check-up. Avoid foods or beverages that are known to stain teeth, as they may stain the bonding. Refrain from biting or chewing on hard objects, like ice or shells, which could fracture the bonding.

With the right care and attention, dental bonding can last successfully for years.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does dental bonding last, and how can I maintain it?

Dental bonding is a durable and long-lasting solution for enhancing your smile, typically lasting between 3 to 10 years, depending on your oral habits and the location of the bonding. To maintain your dental bonding and extend its lifespan, follow these tips:

Practice Good Oral Hygiene: Brush twice a day and floss daily to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

Avoid Hard Foods: Chewing on hard objects like ice or pens can damage the bonding material.

Limit Staining Foods and Drinks: Foods and beverages like coffee, tea, red wine, and berries can stain the resin material over time. Try to consume these in moderation and rinse your mouth with water afterward.

Regular Dental Check-Ups: Visit us at Dentistry of Sugar Hill for routine cleanings and examinations. We can check the condition of your dental bonding and perform any necessary touch-ups.

Is dental bonding suitable for children and teenagers?

Yes, dental bonding can be an excellent option for children and teenagers who need minor cosmetic improvements or repairs to their teeth. It is a minimally invasive procedure that can effectively address issues like chipped or cracked teeth, gaps, and discoloration. The benefits of dental bonding for younger patients include:

Non-Permanent Solution: Unlike some other dental treatments, dental bonding can be easily adjusted or replaced as your child’s teeth grow and change.

Quick and Painless: The procedure is typically quick and painless, making it a comfortable option for young patients.

Natural Appearance: The resin material used in dental bonding can be perfectly matched to the natural color of your child’s teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking result.

If you’re considering dental bonding for your child or teenager, schedule a consultation with our experienced team at Dentistry of Sugar Hill. We’ll assess their dental needs and help determine if bonding is the right choice for them.
