Benefits of Fillings and Tooth Bonding at Espire Dental Westminster, CO

Both fillings and tooth bonding offer several benefits for patients who want to restore or enhance their smile. Here’s why they’re such popular treatment options:

  • Natural Appearance: With tooth-colored composite fillings and bonding materials, we can match the exact shade of your natural teeth, creating a seamless, natural look.
  • Quick and Painless: Both fillings and bonding are minimally invasive procedures that can often be completed in just one visit. With local anesthesia, you’ll experience little to no discomfort during treatment.
  • Durability: Composite fillings and bonding materials are strong and durable, allowing you to chew and smile with confidence.
  • Cost-Effective: Compared to more extensive cosmetic treatments, fillings, and tooth bonding offer an affordable way to improve the appearance and health of your teeth.

How the Fillings and Bonding Process Work

At Espire Dental Westminster, we make sure that your treatment is comfortable, efficient, and tailored to your needs. Here’s what you can expect during your appointment:

For Dental Fillings:

  1. Diagnosis and Preparation: We’ll start by examining the tooth and removing any decayed material. Local anesthesia will be used to ensure you don’t feel any discomfort.
  2. Filling Placement: After preparing the tooth, we’ll apply the composite resin in layers, carefully shaping it to fit your tooth’s natural contours.
  3. Hardening and Polishing: Once the filling is in place, we’ll use a special light to harden the material, ensuring it’s strong and durable. We’ll then polish the filling for a smooth, natural finish.

For Tooth Bonding:

  1. Preparation: The tooth surface is lightly roughened, and a conditioning liquid is applied to help the bonding material adhere properly.
  2. Application: We apply the tooth-colored resin, then mold and shape it to match the natural appearance of your tooth.
  3. Curing: The bonding material is hardened with a special curing light, and final adjustments are made to ensure a perfect fit.
  4. Finishing Touches: We’ll polish the bonded tooth to match the sheen of your surrounding teeth, giving you a flawless smile.

How long do composite fillings last?

With proper care, composite fillings can last 5 to 10 years or longer. Regular dental visits and good oral hygiene can help extend the life of your fillings.

Is tooth bonding painful?

No! Tooth bonding is a minimally invasive procedure that usually requires little to no anesthesia. It’s a quick and painless way to improve the appearance of your teeth.

Can I eat normally after getting a filling?

Yes, you can eat normally after your filling has been placed. However, it is a good idea to avoid very hot or cold foods for the first 24 hours as your tooth adjusts.

How long does tooth bonding last?

Bonding can last 3 to 10 years, depending on how well you care for your teeth. Avoid biting down on hard objects and maintain regular dental checkups to keep your bonding in good condition.

How do I care for my bonded teeth?

Caring for bonded teeth is simple—just brush and floss as you would your natural teeth. Avoid chewing on hard objects like ice, pens, or fingernails, as this can chip the bonding material.

Will my dental insurance cover fillings and bonding?

Most dental insurance plans cover the cost of fillings, and some may cover tooth bonding for restorative purposes. We’ll help you navigate your insurance and offer flexible payment options for additional costs.
