Bonding
Bonding is a conservative way to repair slightly-chipped, discolored or crooked teeth, often for cosmetic purposes. The process comprises placing a white filling on your tooth to improve its appearance. The filling "bonds" with your teeth, and because it comes in a variety of tooth-colored shades, it closely matches the appearance of your natural teeth.
Bonding can also be used in place of regular amalgam fillings. Many patients prefer bonded fillings, because the white color is much less noticeable than the silver of the amalgam fillings. Bonding fillings can be used on front and back teeth, depending on the location and extent of tooth decay.
Bonding is less expensive than other cosmetic treatments and can usually be completed in one visit to our office. However, bonding can stain and breaks more easily than other cosmetic treatments like porcelain veneers.
If your bonding does break or chip, please let us know. We can generally patch or repair bonding in one visit.
"I recently had to take my mom to Totem Lake Smiles Clinic for an urgent dental issue, and I cannot recommend Dr. Patil-Ghatkar enough. We were in a bit of a panic, but she was incredibly accommodating and managed to fit us in for a last-minute emergency appointment, which we truly appreciated. The entire team at the clinic was incredibly thorough and professional. The dental assistant was great with the X-rays, and Dr. Patil-Ghatkar performed a very careful examination. She provided an accurate diagnosis of the ailment and clearly explained the recommended next steps for treatment. If you are looking for a practice where the whole staff is skilled, kind, and truly cares about their patients, I highly suggest booking an appointment here."
