COSMETIC DENTISTRY

Dental Bonding

Maybe you have a chipped front tooth or small gaps between your teeth. Or, maybe you want to cosmetically enhance your smile in a single visit. If so, dental bonding is a great choice for you!

Bonding is among the easiest and least expensive of cosmetic dental procedures. When you see before and after examples of our cosmetic bonding patients, you will quickly realize that Dr. Metzger is actually an artist at work. The transformations are miraculous, with his ability to match the shape and hue of teeth so they naturally fit the patient’s face and smile.

As the name indicates, dental bonding is a procedure in which a tooth-colored resin is applied to your tooth and hardened with a special light, ultimately “bonding” the material to your tooth. Using this technique, we can repair your chipped or cracked teeth, close gaps, and even change the shape of teeth. It is also a superior cosmetic alternative to silver amalgam fillings, which are rarely used.

What to Expect

After consulting with Dr. Metzger about your overall goal with cosmetic bonding, this is what you can expect at your appointment:

  • We will select a shade that most closely matches the natural color of your teeth
  • Dr. Metzger will apply the bonding material and sculpt the tooth into the proper shape
  • The material will be hardened using an activation light
  • Dr. Metzger will complete any finishing touches, such as additional shaping and polishing of the bonding to match the rest of your teeth.

It usually takes about an hour to complete the bonding procedure. However, if you are having multiple teeth done, it could take several visits to complete. Because most tooth bonding procedures do not require anesthesia, you can return to normal daily activity immediately after your appointment.

SPACE CLOSURE IN ONE APPOINTMENT

Closure of a small space between the upper Central Incisors with Composite Bonding material. Dr. Metzger completed this treatment for a 32 year-old female in one appointment!

BONDING FOR CHIPPED CENTRAL INCISOR

Boys will be boys. Roughhousing accident fractured off about 40% of this young man’s central incisor. Dr. Metzger restored the fracture by bonding a segment of the fractured tooth back in place and then placed composite restorative material to replace the other missing fragments of his tooth. Take it easy with your teeth gentlemen!
Before After

BONDING TO CORRECT ENAMEL DEFECT

This patient has a slight enamel defect, which causes the translucent appearance along the lower edges of the teeth. Additionally, the left central incisor shows a white enamel defect. Dr. Metzger corrected the shade and transparency of the four front teeth with composite bonding material, in one simple chair-side appointment.
Before After

UNIFORM SIZE, SHAPE, AND COLORS

This young lady was concerned about her smile, which included a chip in her central incisor, and a space between her front teeth (diastema). Dr. Metzger used composite bonding to repair the chip and fill in the space between the teeth. The patient was extremely pleased with her new, natural smile.
Before After

BONDING FOR TRAUMA REPAIR

How long bonding lasts depends on how much bonding you have done and your oral habits, so it’s important to give bonded teeth the same amount of care and attention as your natural teeth. Bonding material is prone to staining, so watch how often you consume substances that can stain, such as tea, coffee, cigarette smoke and wine.

There's no better time to get started.

Dr. Keith Metzger was my dentist all through high school and most of college. I moved away and have had different dentists since, but have never found one as great as Dr. Metzger. Today I had an appointment with a new dentist. He raved about the bonding that I've had done. Dr. Metzger did that bonding 9 years ago. My new dentist said it looks so natural he would have thought they were porcelain veneers. He said he's never seen bonding work that looks so natural and that has held up so long. I'm so grateful that Dr. Metzger was my dentist for so long before moving away.

The staff is always friendly & professional. I had a minor cosmetic procedure to repair some chipping on my front teeth. Dr. Metzger is a master at matching the enamel color and blending shape & texture. The repairs are invisible to the eye & now I have perfect teeth again. Thanks so much!
