A beautiful smile doesn't always require extensive dental work. At Heritage Dental, we understand that even minor imperfections can affect your confidence. That's why our family of dentists offers composite bonding—a simple, effective solution that can transform your smile in just one visit.
The Composite Bonding Process
When you visit Heritage Dental for composite bonding, you'll experience the same warm, personalized care that has defined our practice for generations. The process is comfortable, efficient, and typically completed in a single appointment:
- Preparation — We begin by selecting the perfect shade to match your natural teeth. Since very little tooth structure needs to be modified, we can usually perform the bonding without numbing in most cases.
- Application — Our dentists carefully apply the pliable composite material to your tooth, skillfully layering and shaping it to achieve the desired form and appearance.
- Curing and Hardening—As each layer is applied, we use a special curing light to harden the material instantly. This allows us to build up the perfect shape incrementally.
- Finishing touches — Once the bonding is complete, we meticulously polish the composite until it has the same luster and reflective qualities as your natural enamel, creating a result that blends flawlessly with your smile.
If you want a more noticeable smile transformation without the cost of porcelain, composite veneers are an excellent alternative. Unlike traditional bonding that addresses specific areas of a tooth, composite veneers cover the entire front surface to create a fresh, uniform appearance.
