Cosmetic Bonding Explained In 5 Simple Ways

Today is the summer solstice; the longest day of the year. It is also the hottest day on record since 1976. Phew! Aside from that, we would like to discuss a very cool treatment- cosmetic bonding. Never heard of it? Well, let us explain in 5 simple ways:

  1. Cosmetic bonding can correct mis shaped, uneven, spaced teeth in ONE visit
  2. The treatment requires NO drilling of your teeth
  3. There is NO need for any needles
  4. It is reversible
  5. It is affordable

Cosmetic bonding involves very careful layered placement of highly aesthetic composite white filling material which is then contoured and polished meticulously. It is easier to see with your own eyes:

In the past, cosmetic dentistry would involve cutting down your teeth for porcelain veneers (remember Extreme Makeover anyone?). Although these look great, just think of the cost (not just monetary!)- all of the tooth enamel gone. Enamel is the hardest tissue in the body; why remove it when you can enhance it. If you are considering a smile transformation this summer, think of cosmetic bonding and think of Progressive Dentistry. Call us today.

Porcelain Veneers To Transform A Smile

Veneers are outer facings that cover the tooth/teeth to repair issues such as chips, fractures, asymmetry, discolouration or protect old fillings. The transformation of a smile can be life changing.
