Great Ways to Improve Your Smile # 4

Bonding
Not happy with the way your teeth look? Bonding may be the answer. For some, it can help restore the natural look of your teeth. Bonding is a process where the dentist attaches or ìbondsî materials directly to your tooth. Your natural tooth enamel and dentin are fused together with bonding materials such as porcelain and resins to create a strong structure that looks great.

White Dental Fillings Dentist Lorton VA

The Metallic Look is Gone!

In the past, mercury-silver amalgams were the standard material for fillings. As metal does not adhere well to teeth, eventually decay would seep into the tooth. From the aesthetic point of view, many patients did not like the noticeable contrast of dark metal in their teeth. Newer methods let us offer composite fillings that are compatible in texture and color with natural teeth. As they bond tightly to teeth, they add strength to its structure and reduce the chance of decay.
