BONDING &
WHITE FILLINGS

You may have had cavities in the past and had fillings done. Previously, the materials that were used to fill cavities were either gold or silver. You may even have some silver fillings in your mouth or you may have noticed it when you see other people smile or talk. Today, there are materials that match your teeth’s natural color better than gold or silver. At Bedford Dental Care, we believe in bringing out your best smile and use only the best resin bonding system available.

Teeth bonding is a technique in which a tooth-colored resin material (a durable plastic material) is applied and hardened with a special blue light, which ultimately “bonds” the material to the tooth to restore or improve a person’s smile.

WHY DOES A TOOTH NEED BONDING?

Teeth bonding is a very esthetic option that can be considered:

  • To repair decayed teeth (composite resins are used to fill cavities)
  • To repair small chipped or cracked teeth
  • To improve the appearance of discolored teeth
  • To close spaces or black triangles between teeth
  • To make teeth look longer
  • To change the shape of teeth
  • As a cosmetic alternative to amalgam (or silver) fillings
  • To protect a portion of the tooth’s root that has been exposed when gums recede

There are so many more options available than ever before. Give us a call to discuss concerns you may have about your teeth or your smile. Together we can see if bonding is the right option for you!
