Dental bonding and porcelain veneers are both used to fix cracked, chipped, or misshapen teeth.
Bonding is simple and cost-effective. With a bonding treatment, Dr. Desatnik will apply a tooth-colored resin to the front of your teeth and mold it into the desired shape. Bonding can fix minor chips, stains, cracks, and gaps. Once the resin hardens, your teeth will look as good as new!
Your bi-annual dental visit should not be the only time you think about your oral health. Maintaining a proper at-home hygiene routine is also very important for your smile. Our dentists recommend brushing your teeth at least twice a day. If possible, use a soft-bristled toothbrush and toothpaste with fluoride. Do not brush too hard. Over time this can lead to gum recession and tooth loss. We also recommend flossing every day.
To keep your teeth white, avoid consuming dark-colored drinks like wine, coffee, tea. It is also best to avoid foods with bright dyes. Do not smoke and consume tobacco products. These will not only stain your teeth but may increase your risk for other oral health problems as well.
