Tooth-colored Dental Bonding
We use Tooth-colored Dental Bonding to quickly improve the appearance of teeth with minor imperfections such as cracks, chips, stains, and slight misalignments. Dental bonding is a popular cosmetic dentistry procedure at our office serving the greater Palos Verdes and Redondo Beach area because treatment can be completed in only one visit with amazing results.
The Dental Bonding Procedure
We begin the dental bonding procedure by etching the surface of the tooth. This etched surface helps the bonding material adhere strongly to the tooth. Then, the composite (plastic) resin is placed on the tooth, contoured, and hardened with at special curing light. The material is then smoothed and polished to create a natural-looking sheen. Our patients often choose bonding as an alternative to porcelain veneers, or to cover deep stains that cannot be removed through teeth whitening. To learn more about dental bonding, contact our cosmetic dentistry practice to schedule a consultation today.
Porcelain Inlays and Onlays
When a tooth is weakened due to decay or other damage but does not need a full dental crown, we use inlays and onlays. They add more strength to a tooth than is possible with fillings, but do not cover the entire tooth as crowns do. Inlays fix damage that is within the cusps (points) of a tooth, while onlays fix damage that covers one or more cusps. Inlays and onlays are made from porcelain so they look extremely natural.
The Inlays and Onlays Procedure
We first prepare your tooth by removing decayed or damaged tooth structure, and then use the CEREC® 3D machine to take a digital impression of the area so your inlay or onlay can be custom made. Inlays and onlays are custom-crafted using the CEREC® machine so that they perfectly fit your prepared tooth. They are then bonded in place for an extremely tight fit, providing the strength the tooth needs. The entire process takes a single office visit. In addition to restoring function to a damaged tooth, inlays and onlays are also a good cosmetic dentistry option and can be used to replace old metal fillings for a completely natural-looking smile.
Other Cosmetic Dentistry Options
At the practice of Michael Fulbright, D.D.S., we offer a full range of cosmetic dentistry options. Patients from Palos Verdes, Torrance and other areas visit our Redondo Beach office for the amazing results we help our patients to attain.
In addition to dental bonding, we offer porcelain veneers to cover major and minor imperfections in the front teeth, and dental crowns that add strength and beauty to a weakened tooth.
We also offer Invisalign® orthodontics for our patients who want to straighten their teeth, as well as dental implants for our patients who are missing one or more teeth.
Our at-home or in-office tooth whitening procedures create dramatic results by themselves as well as when used following other cosmetic dentistry procedures.
Any of these options can greatly enhance your smile. However, if you desire an overall transformation, we can design a smile makeover to help you achieve your goals.
