At Lakeview Dental in Lakeville, NY, Dr. Brian Hirschfield offers dental bonding as a non-invasive solution to improve your smile. This treatment effectively corrects minor imperfections like chips, cracks, and discoloration with a composite resin that matches your natural teeth for subtle, yet transformative results. Whether you’re seeking minor adjustments or a comprehensive smile makeover, dental bonding can be an excellent alternative when porcelain veneers aren't suitable.
Dental bonding is an excellent choice if you are dealing with minor dental issues such as small cracks that do not significantly weaken the structure of your teeth, internal stains that are resistant to whitening treatments, or gaps and unusual tooth shapes. While both bonding and veneers can produce similar aesthetic results, bonding is often more suitable if your tooth enamel has begun to erode, providing a gentler alternative that preserves more of your natural tooth structure.
Our Dental Bonding Process
The process begins with a consultation where Dr. Hirschfield evaluates your oral health and discusses your aesthetic goals. A custom treatment plan is then developed, including selecting the perfect shade of composite to match your natural teeth. The surface of your teeth will be prepared with a mild chemical solution to enhance the bonding process. Dr. Hirschfield meticulously applies and shapes the resin to blend seamlessly with your teeth, finishing with a curing light and a polish for a natural sheen. Typically, the procedure takes less than an hour per tooth.
