What is Cosmetic Bonding?
Ideal for repairing small chips and fractures in your tooth, cosmetic bonding utilizes a material called composite resin to restore your smile. Composite is also the material of choice for dental fillings. It's pliable and easy for Dr. Gladnick to work with, so it can be molded and designed to restore your tooth and not be noticeable. What makes it virtually invisible is the fact that it can be custom shaded to match your tooth, so no one will notice your dental work. Composite is very durable and can potentially last for many years with the right home care.
Porcelain Veneers
For patients who may be dealing with larger chips or fractures, Dr. Gladnick may recommend a porcelain veneer. This is a thin layer of porcelain that is bonded directly to your tooth. It's also custom shaded to match your teeth, or multiple veneers can be used to enhance your entire smile. Veneers are ideal for repairing other dental issues such as:
- Discoloration and staining
- Wear
- Misaligned teeth
- Gaps or spacing between teeth
- Misshapen teeth
