Can dental bonding help with broken teeth or gaps in teeth?

By Dr. Stephen Gaines

Dental Bonding Services in Oakville area

Dental bonding is an aesthetic procedure that includes applying a tooth-colored resin material to the surface of the teeth. When shaped and molded to match the natural tooth shape, it can effectively repair any cracks or chips. The bonding material also helps to strengthen the damaged tooth, making it less prone to future damage. With proper attention and treatment, patients can expect their bonding restoration to last many years before needing replacement. Drs. Stephen Gaines and Arti Patel at Sherwood Dental in Oakville, Ontario, can discuss this treatment with you and help you decide if it is best for your smile!

Can dental bonding help fix broken or gapped teeth?

Dental bonding services can address several cosmetic and functional issues with the smile, including correcting gaps between teeth near the front of the smile and broken and chipped teeth. In fact, dental bonding is used for all the following reasons:

Repairing cracks and chips in the teeth. Over time, teeth may become cracked or chipped due to wear and tear, injury, or decay. Dental bonding is an effective solution for these issues
Staining or discoloration of a tooth. If you have a discolored tooth, it can be addressed with porcelain veneers, professional-strength teeth whitening, or dental bonding
Areas of tooth decay.Tooth decay can result in large holes in the natural tooth structure that may affect oral health and even lead to infection. Fillings made with composite resin are often strong, durable, and aesthetic, making it one of the best materials for filling in cavities in the smile

What should I expect from my upcoming dental bonding appointment?

The bonding resin adheres to the tooth, filling in cracks and replacing chipped areas. Once the material is hardened with a special curing light and polished, the bonded tooth closely resembles the natural tooth in appearance and function, restoring the patient's smile and confidence!

The staff at Sherwood Dental have always been awesome. I never have to wait more than a few minutes for my appt, they are very prompt and efficient. They also always try to resolve my issues the first time I mention them. I feel that Dr. Gaines does not perform procedures that are not necessary, just to make money, as he has honestly told me before that I do not need certain things, when my previous dentist told me that I did (and Dr. Gaines told me why my other dentist may have suggested it, and why he did not necessary agree). Love these guys!

Fabulous Dental Practice - First off they value your time as much as you do. The entire team is happy to work there, which shows in the way they treat the clients. The equipment is top notch. I'm very happy even if they find a cavity.

About as much fun you can have with going to the dentist. The professional and caring attitude of the dentists, hygienists, and office staff make you feel like part of their family. And if you and the Argonauts are lucky, you might get to see the Grey Cup along with a few players they look after.
