Dental Bonding

 


Dental bonding is a great way to quickly and affordably repair small imperfections on teeth. It is a procedure in which a tooth-colored resin material is applied and hardened with a special light, which ultimately “bonds” the material to the tooth to restore or improve a person’s smile. If you have decayed, chipped, or cracked teeth, our doctors at Criscione Family Dentistry are happy to discuss dental bonding to see if it’s right for you.

Unlike veneers and crowns, which are customized tooth coverings that must be manufactured in a lab, bonding usually can be done in one office visit unless several teeth are involved. Another advantage, compared to these two cosmetic options, is that the least amount of tooth enamel is removed. If you have very small imperfections on your teeth, bonding could be the answer. In addition to providing cosmetic relief, bonding can also be used to fill cavities. 

If you desire a more aesthetically pleasing smile, give us a call to discuss your treatment options.

Benefits of Teeth Whitening

Your smile is the first thing anyone notices about you, so you want it to be as bright as your personality. Brushing and flossing are everyday ways to keep your teeth white and healthy, but if you feel that your smile is lacking some sparkle our staff at Criscione Family Dental offers teeth whitening services. Teeth whitening is a simple process and we use safe bleaches that break stains into smaller pieces, which make the color on your teeth less concentrated and brighter.


Tooth whitening is a process that lightens teeth and helps removes stains and discoloration. It is among the most popular cosmetic dental procedures because it can greatly improve how your teeth look. With all of the lifestyle habits that we practice on a daily basis such eating foods that have the ability to stain our teeth, smoking or drinking coffee, wine, and tea, our teeth can leave us feeling a lack of confidence. However, once you complete a whitening treatment your self-esteem will receive quite a boost.


If you desire a brighter smile, please give us a call to discuss your treatment options.
