Cosmetic Dental Bonding in Sterling, VA

If You’re Looking for Cosmetic Dental Bonding in Sterling, VA, Call Lowes Island Dentistry.

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

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. Lowes Island Dentistry dentists perform dental bonding in our Sterling, VA, 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 Sterling, VA 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

Check out these frequently asked questions, or call us to speak with our team.

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. 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.
