Enhance the smile with composite resin bonding, dental inlays, and dental onlays

Many men and women often feel self-conscious about their smiles due to the imperfections of their natural teeth. If you are facing aesthetic issues that affect both your oral appearance and confidence, now might be the perfect time to discuss restorative solutions such as composite bonding, dental inlays, or dental onlays with Dr. Blanca Fernandez and her dedicated team at Highland Dental Clinic in South Lakeland, Florida.

What is composite resin bonding, and how is it used in the smile?

Also known as dental or teeth bonding, composite bonding uses a composite resin material to enhance your teeth’s appearance. During this procedure, a substance composed of plastic and glass particles closely resembling your natural teeth is applied to the tooth’s surface. It is hardened with a curing light and shaped to look like the natural contours of a tooth. It is done in a single visit and does not require any anesthesia to complete like other dental procedures.

What can be done with composite resin bonding?

Composite bonding can help:

  • Repair decayed or chipped teeth
  • Address gaps between the teeth
  • Mask natural teeth misalignment
  • Lengthen or reshape a natural tooth
  • Address permanently discolored or stained teeth
  • Alter the size of a tooth for a harmonious smile

How much does composite resin bonding cost?

Dental bonding of imperfect or gapped teeth is generally a budget-friendly option for many of our patients here at Highland Dental Clinic. The cost depends on the extent of the work required and any additional treatments needed. It is often a cost-effective alternative to pricier cosmetic options like veneers or crowns.

What about dental inlays and onlays?

Dental inlays and onlays are another conservative option for patients who have areas of tooth decay. These pieces are customized to fit onto a patient’s tooth after dental bonding has been used to fill a cavity. When you visit with Dr. Blanca Fernandez and her team at Highland Dental Clinic, you will learn about all of your options so you can make an educated decision regarding the treatment that is best for your unique situation and oral health needs.
