Having a smile that you're shy or self-conscious about can put a damper on your daily joys and special celebrations. Everyone wants to have healthy, beautiful teeth that look strong, white, and straight. However, sometimes our teeth can collect stains, wear down, crack, or appear less-than-perfect.

At Sound Dental Solutions, we offer aesthetic and restorative dentistry services to improve your smile's function, comfort, and appearance. Some of these services include tooth-colored dental fillings and cosmetic dental bonding.  

What Are Tooth-Colored Fillings and Dental Bonding?

Tooth-colored fillings and dental bonding are made of the same material: composite resin matched to the shade of your teeth. The composite resin is a special mixture of ceramic particles that simulates the translucency and color of your dental enamel.

As we age, our teeth can wear down, and daily activities like chewing and biting food can result in chips or cracks. Sometimes, we may even have cavities and tooth decay requiring treatment. This is where tooth-colored fillings or dental bonding comes in! These treatments can work wonders for your oral health and your smile's appearance. 

How Can Dental Fillings and Bonding Improve My Smile?

Dental fillings and bonding can fix several different types of problems, such as:

  • Tooth decay 
  • Discoloration and stains
  • Misshapen teeth 
  • Cracks and chips
  • Minor breaks and fractures
  • Slight gaps or uneven spacing between teeth 
  • Teeth that appear too short 

Composite resin fillings and bonding result in seamless tooth repair and enhancement. Before the treatment, your dentist will perfectly match the composite resin to your natural smile. After they apply and cure the composite resin with a UV light, they will make any final adjustments by shaping and polishing the tooth.
