Dental Bonding Near Avon, CT

Dental bonding is incredibly versatile and can address many common concerns:

• Repairing chipped or cracked teeth
• Closing small gaps between teeth
• Improving the appearance of discolored teeth
• Making teeth look longer or changing their shape
• Protecting a portion of the tooth’s root exposed by receding gums

If you’ve been dealing with any of these issues, you might be a perfect candidate for dental bonding at our Avon office.

Here’s what to expect when you come in for dental bonding:

First, we’ll select a composite resin color that closely matches your natural tooth color. Then, our Avon area dentist gently prepares the surface of your tooth so the bonding material adheres properly. Don’t worry—this is usually quite minimal and rarely requires anesthesia unless we’re filling a cavity.

Next comes the artistic part: we’ll apply the resin, carefully mold and smooth it to the desired shape, and then use a special ultraviolet light to harden the material. Once it’s hardened, we’ll trim, shape, and polish the bonding material until it matches the rest of your tooth and feels natural in your mouth.

The entire process typically takes between 30 to 60 minutes per tooth. You’ll be able to eat, drink, and use your tooth normally as soon as you leave our office.

When it comes to your smile, experience matters. Our team has been providing exceptional dental bonding services to patients throughout the Avon area for years. We take pride in delivering results that look natural and feel comfortable.

We understand that dental procedures can make some people nervous. That’s why we’ve created a warm, welcoming environment where you can feel at ease. From your initial consultation to your final result, we’ll take the time to answer your questions and ensure you’re comfortable every step of the way.

One of the questions we hear most often is, “How do I take care of my bonded teeth?” The good news is that caring for bonded teeth is pretty straightforward:

Avoid biting your nails or chewing on hard objects (like ice or pens)—these habits can chip the bonding material.

If you’re a coffee, tea, or red wine enthusiast, be aware that the bonding resin can stain. Regular dental cleanings help keep your bonded teeth looking their best.

Brush and floss daily, just as you would with your natural teeth.

With proper care, dental bonding typically lasts between 3 to 10 years before needing a touch-up or replacement.
