Specialized Tooth Restoration
Dental bonding serves as a remarkable method for addressing issues such as chipped, cracked, or stained teeth through the application of tooth-colored composite resin. Dr. Scott McQuiston expertly utilizes this adaptable substance directly on the tooth surface, meticulously sculpting it to restore both aesthetic qualities and function in just one appointment.
Advantages of Composite Resin Bonding
This minimally invasive procedure maintains the integrity of your natural tooth structure while providing swift results. Dental bonding involves minimal alteration of the tooth, making it a superb choice compared to crowns or veneers for addressing minor aesthetic concerns. The entire process generally takes between 30 to 60 minutes per tooth, enabling you to leave our office with a revitalized smile on the same day.

The Bonding Process at Our Office
Our dentist will begin by selecting a composite shade that perfectly matches your surrounding teeth. After preparing the tooth surface with a gentle roughening technique, he layers the resin material, employing specialized methods to ensure excellent adhesion. A curing light solidifies each layer, and final polishing results in a smooth, natural finish that integrates flawlessly with your smile. Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure, and anesthesia is seldom required unless addressing cavities.
