One-Appointment Bonding
If you have a chipped, slightly misaligned, or otherwise imperfect tooth that needs
cosmetic dentistry
restoration, we may suggest one-appointment bonding. Dr. Gorman can apply liquid composite resin, shaded to blend with your tooth's color, to rebuild a pleasing shape to your tooth. After hardening the resin with a curing light, he will artistically sculpt and polish the restoration. In just one visit, you can enjoy a beautiful new smile! Cosmetic bonding can be a viable, affordable alternative to
porcelain veneers
, but it lasts only 5 to 10 years with proper care. Bonding will not discolor as your natural tooth enamel will, so touch-up
teeth whitening
may be required to keep your natural teeth the same shade as the bonded area.
