New Jersey Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is a cosmetic dentistry technique that uses adhesive technology to bond the material directly to your existing tooth, providing additional strength and support to the tooth. The adhesive technology used in dental bonding makes the repaired tooth more resistant to chipping and cracking than with silver amalgram fillings.

Dental bonding is a fast way to fix a cracked or chipped tooth, or a gap between teeth, and it is very inexpensive compared to some alternative cosmetic dental procedures. Dental bonding can also be used to correct slight discolorations or reshape a few teeth. If you are seeking a complete smile makeover, and want to straighten all your teeth or correct defects that appear on more than one or two teeth, porcelain veneers or crowns would be a better option.

Skilled cosmetic dentists with additional post-graduate training in this procedure and a bit of artistc talent can use dental bonding to sculpt the shape and size of your teeth, and can replicate the color, translucency, and texture of your natural teeth so that the repair is virtually undetectable.

Dental Bonding Procedure:

The composite material used in white fillings is the same material used in the dental bonding procedure. Dr. Hurley will use artistic skill to perfectly match the composite material to the natural color and opacity of your teeth. The area where the material will be bonded to is prepared by an etching tool, and bonding adhesive is applied. Dr. Hurley can then use the artistic dental bonding technique to reshape and restore your tooth while blending it perfectly with the remaining natural tooth structure.
