At Ashburn Dentistry by Design, we offer dental bonding as an effective way to enhance your smile. This conservative approach in restorative dentistry is able to repair chipped teeth, close a small gap or even improve the shape of your teeth. Our friendly team takes the time to understand your goals and personalizes your care so you leave our Ashburn office with a natural-looking smile you can’t wait to share with the world!

What Is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding serves both cosmetic and restorative purposes, tailored to fit your individual needs. In cosmetic dentistry, it is a way to repair minor imperfections, such as chips and cracks, and to close small gaps. It can even be used to improve the appearance of your teeth by camouflaging discoloration with tooth-colored materials. Additionally, dental bonding can be used to restore teeth from decay by filling cavities, changing out previous silver fillings and protecting any roots that may have been exposed from receding gums.

Benefits Of Dental Bonding In Ashburn, VA

Dental bonding is an extremely common procedure, and about 30 million people have at least one chipped tooth according to the American Dental Association. Chipped teeth are often caused by sports-related injuries, eating hard candies and teeth grinding (bruxism), but dental bonding offers a quick, effective solution to repair teeth to their full potential. Additional benefits include:

  • Cost-Effective: It is fairly affordable compared to other cosmetic treatments such as veneers.

  • Fast & Convenient: It typically only takes a single appointment at our Ashburn office, allowing you to go home with a transformed smile the same day!

  • Natural Appearance: We are able to customize the shade to match your natural tooth to give you a harmonious smile.

  • Minimally-Invasive: Since we don’t have to remove a significant portion of the tooth’s natural enamel, we are able to preserve more of the tooth’s natural structure, which is important for your oral health and function.

  • No Downtime: One of the things our patients love about dental bonding is that they are free to go back to work, school and continue with their daily responsibilities.

What to Expect During Dental Bonding

At Ashburn Dentistry by Design, we strive to make the dental bonding process with us easy, stress-free and tailored to your needs. When you visit us for your bonding appointment, you can expect:

You’ll first meet with your Ashburn dentist for an initial consultation, where we will discuss your concerns, answer any questions and make sure bonding is the best fit for you.

Bonding does not require much preparation. We’ll begin by gently roughening the surface of your tooth and applying a special conditioning liquid to ensure the composite resin adheres effectively.

Next, our experienced dentists will precisely apply a tooth-colored resin—carefully chosen to match your natural tooth—then skillfully shape and sculpt it to restore and enhance your tooth’s appearance.

After, we use a curing light to harden the material and polish it for a smooth, natural finish.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Bonding

If you take proper care of your teeth and gums, it can last about 3-10 years before needing to be replaced.

No, just like your natural teeth, the resin material may experience stains over time depending on how much coffee you drink, whether you smoke and your lifestyle habits.

Bonding does have a tendency to break more easily than other cosmetic materials, such as porcelain veneers, because the material isn’t as durable. If that happens, call our office in order to be seen for a patch or repair.
