Repair Broken Teeth
Chipped and broken teeth can be restored to their natural beauty with
bonded restorations.
After treating the tooth surfaces, a puttylike bonding material is
applied that is then sculpted, shaped and colored to suit your needs.
A high-intensity
light causes the plastic to harden after which the new surface is smoothed
and polished.
Bonding can eliminate stains, close gaps and even alter crooked or malformed
teeth. It can be utilized to change the shape or color of a single tooth
or if desired to create a beautiful smile.
Dental Restorations that are Tooth-Colored
For over 100 years, dentists restored teeth primarily with a material
made of mercury and a bit of silver. We have
had to live with its weaknesses. Those weaknesses consist of cracking
teeth due to expansion of the material, decay leaking under the filling,
and the restoration turning black as the material corrodes.
Now we have ways to provide tooth-colored restorations at Dougherty
Dental Care. We can use adhesives to bond tooth parts that look and act
like teeth. We can provide a bright, healthy and strong smile with these
exciting new techniques and materials in adhesion dentistry.
Please don't hesitate to call us at (301) 530-2434 if you believe you
would benefit from these advancements. Together, with Dr. Dougherty,
we can help bring a smile back to your face.
