Why Choose Cochell Family Dentistry for Dental Bonding?

What is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding refers to a specific treatment that involves placing putty-like, color-matched composite resin directly to your enamel to mend or mask dental flaws. Once it’s molded into the ideal shape, it’s hardened in place with an ultraviolet curing light, which causes it to bond with your enamel for long-lasting results.

This service can be used to improve one or several areas of concern, including:

If you’re seeking a more cost-effective alternative to porcelain veneers, this option can address many of the same concerns but usually comes at a lower price.

Who is a Good Candidate for Dental Bonding?

This procedure can be incredibly straightforward and effective, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best way to meet everyone’s unique needs. Before proceeding, you must consult Dr. Cochell to ensure you’re a good candidate. For example, if you have suffered more severe tooth decay, there may not be enough healthy material for the composite resin to bond with.

Our team will examine your teeth and gums and address any issues, such as gum disease or tooth decay, that might affect the results. Once we determine that dental bonding is right for you, we can schedule your treatment.
