What Do Fillings and Tooth Bonding Treat?

Fillings and tooth bonding are versatile treatments that restore damaged or decayed teeth and enhance the appearance of your smile. While fillings are primarily used to repair cavities and prevent further decay, tooth bonding is a cosmetic solution that can fix minor imperfections such as chips, cracks, or gaps. Both treatments use composite resin, a tooth-colored material that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth for a virtually invisible result.

Here’s how each treatment works:

  • Fillings: When a tooth is damaged by decay, the decayed portion is removed, and the cavity is filled with a composite resin material. This restores the tooth’s structure, strength, and function while maintaining a natural appearance.
  • Tooth Bonding: For cosmetic concerns, such as chipped or discolored teeth, bonding uses the same composite material to reshape and enhance the tooth’s appearance. The resin is sculpted and polished to match the surrounding teeth, providing a quick and painless solution to minor imperfections.

Both fillings and bonding offer natural-looking, long-lasting results, allowing you to restore and enhance your smile in just one visit.

How long do tooth-colored fillings and bonding last?

With proper care, both composite fillings and bonding can last between 5 to 10 years or longer. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene will help extend their lifespan.

Is getting a filling or bonding painful?

No, both procedures are generally painless. We use local anesthesia to numb the area for fillings, and bonding usually requires no anesthesia at all. We also offer sedation options for those with dental anxiety.

Can tooth bonding fix gaps between teeth?

Yes! Tooth bonding is an excellent solution for closing small gaps between teeth, providing a more even and uniform smile without the need for orthodontics.

How do I care for fillings and bonding?

Caring for your fillings or bonding is just like caring for your natural teeth. Brush twice a day, floss daily, and visit us for regular check-ups to ensure your dental restorations stay in good condition.

Will my insurance cover fillings or bonding?

Most insurance plans cover the cost of dental fillings as part of routine care. Bonding, when used for cosmetic purposes, may not be fully covered. We’ll help you understand your insurance benefits and discuss financing options if needed.

How long does a filling or bonding procedure take?

Depending on the extent of the treatment, both fillings and bonding can typically be completed in under an hour. You’ll leave our office with a fully restored smile the same day!
