Tooth damage doesn’t have to mean the end of a healthy, beautiful smile. Whether you have a cavity, a chipped tooth, or minor cosmetic imperfections, fillings and tooth bonding offer simple and effective solutions. At Espire Dental Erie, we’re dedicated to restoring your teeth with functional and aesthetically pleasing treatments. We provide personalized, compassionate care to help you smile with confidence.
Both treatments are minimally invasive and can typically be completed in a single visit, allowing you to leave our office with a fully restored smile.
Tooth bonding is a versatile cosmetic procedure that can correct a variety of minor imperfections, from chipped teeth to small gaps. Using a tooth-colored resin, we can repair and reshape your teeth, restoring their appearance and function.
The Benefits of Tooth Bonding
Composite fillings offer a more aesthetic solution compared to metal fillings because they blend with the natural color of your teeth. They also require less removal of healthy tooth structure. However, the best option depends on your needs, and we’ll help you make the right choice.
Compound fillings can last between 7-10 years with proper care, sometimes even longer. Good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups can help extend the life of your filling.
Bonding is not considered permanent, but it can last anywhere from 5-10 years with good care. Bonding may wear down over time or become stained, and it can be easily touched up or replaced as needed.
Yes! We use tooth-colored materials for fillings and bondings matching your natural teeth. The goal is to create a result that looks and feels as if nothing was ever done.
Bonded teeth should be cared for just like your natural teeth. Brush, floss, and avoid biting down on hard objects. Also, try to limit staining foods and drinks, like coffee or red wine, as the bonding material can stain over time.
Yes! Bonding is an excellent solution for closing small gaps between teeth, especially if orthodontics aren’t needed. We’ll assess your smile and determine if bonding is the right option for closing gaps.
