Cosmetic Bonding

Dental bonding is one of the easiest and least expensive cosmetic dental procedures to improve your smile in Waxhaw, NC.

Cosmetic dental bonding is a restoration technique where a tooth-like resin is carefully sculpted and secured to the surface of your tooth or teeth. It creates a strong, durable covering that looks just like your natural tooth enamel. Waxhaw Dental Center dentists perform dental bonding in our Waxhaw, NC, cosmetic dental offices.

Common Reasons for Cosmetic Dental Bonding:

  • Small gaps in your teeth
  • Tooth decay
  • Lengthen teeth
  • Minor discoloration of teeth
  • Gum recession
  • Change the shape of your tooth
  • Alternative to porcelain veneers
While cost effective, there are some limitations to cosmetic dental bonding. The composite resin used in dental bonding is not as strong as your actual tooth. And it isn’t as strong as the other alternatives like porcelain veneers. If you choose to receive dental bonding in our Waxhaw, NC office to repair a chipped or cracked tooth, it will eventually need to be replaced it will look like its part of your tooth. If you bite your nails, chew on ice, pens, or pencils, or other hard substances, these resin cosmetic bondings may break and you may need to replace them with stronger options in porcelain. You will need to replace it sooner than later. How long your cosmetic dental bonding lasts depends on where and how much bonding was done and how well you take care of it.

    Cosmetic Dental Bonding FAQ

    What is dental bonding?

    Dental bonding involves applying a resin to your teeth to improve their appearance. Made of a special resin, the bonding material can be made into any shape to sculpt teeth into a beautiful smile. Dental bonding can restore a more natural appearance to your teeth or give them a more even appearance. It can even make your teeth look longer or change their shape, so they fit in better with the surrounding teeth. Dental bonding isn’t just cosmetic, though. You can also have it done to protect a tooth root that’s exposed because of receding gums.

    What is dental bonding versus veneers?
    Dental bonding is quick and simple and requires little to no change to the original tooth. Dental bonding is more affordable than veneers or dental crowns as they are done chair-side instead of in a laboratory and achieve similar visual results.

    Veneers are created of a porcelain material that is matched to the surrounding teeth. Veneers are highly resistant to staining. Veneers are last longer than bonding, with the potential of lasting 15 to 25 years or more, whereas Composite dental bondings may last 5 to 10 years. This all depends on your home health and how you take care of your dental work.

    The restoration you pick typically depends on your specific needs and your ideal treatment outcome. Generally, tooth bonding is selected for smaller changes in a healthy mouth, while veneers can be better for someone who needs a more substantial change to their smile.

    How long does dental bonding last?
    A dental bonding lasts, on average, 4 to 8 years, depending on the area the tooth is in and your specific biting, eating, and chewing habits.

    "My sister had a filling come out of her tooth and we called Waxsaw Dental and they got her in the next morning. Since the Doctor she had gone to for years had retired, she was scheduled with Dr Marshall Earnest and his assistant Jenna. They were both very kind and professional. They explained all of the options clearly and were able to fix the tooth the same day. Since I wasn't the one being worked on, I was able to watch the procedure. They worked together seamlessly with such skill and calmness. It was very impressive and I would certainly recommend them."

    "The staff was professional and thorough. Nothing unexpected and the team was pleasant as well. A bit frustrated that I couldn’t do the consultation and cleaning at the same visit but I understand if I had a lot of stuff going on they would have had to take care of that first. As it was the staff there was able to schedule me an appointment that worked with my schedule to get my cleaning done very quickly."

    "I was bumped due to a Hygienist calling in sick. I waited 4 weeks for call back to reschedule.. Never heard back, so I had to call and make my own short notice cleaning appointment. I received new a hygienist and new DDS. The cleaning was a little rough but it was thorough. Customer service for client retention needs work."

    "Dr. Earnest and his assistant Jenna worked seamlessly to complete my dental work in a timely and efficient manner. The hygienist, Nicole, got me checked in and brought back on time so that I was able to get started with my treatment right away and was not late for work. I was comfortable from start to finish and was impressed with the experience as I have not had pleasant dental treatment in the past. I would highly recommend Dr. Earnest for any procedure as he had been reassuring and confident throughout. Thank you to Waxhaw Dental Center providing exceedingly excellent service yet again."
