Conservative Composite Bonding

Dr. Nicole G. Nalbandian (DDS, MS)

Bonding (aka Composite Bonding) is a conservative and effective way to restore the aesthetic and functional qualities of a tooth in the most minimally invasive way possible. This technique is designed to leave as much of your tooth intact as possible while offering a fast and low-cost solution to the problem.

Dr. Nalbandian has been offering highly conservative treatment options, including composite bonding, to her patients for years achieving highly aesthetic and long lasting results. She believes that ‘less is more’ and nothing can be better than preserving your own natural tooth structure.  

• Closing gaps between teeth
• Fixing chipped edges of front teeth
• Filling in small cavities
• Covering chipped and stained teeth
• Composite veneers

What are some of the downsides to cosmetic bonding?

• Bonding may not last as long as other  more invasive/costly procedures
• Bonding may stain over time and therefore needs to be replaced every 5-7 years
• Bonding is not strong enough to restore the structural integrity of a tooth that is badly broken down.

That being said, advancements in bonding quality and strength have opened the door for some beautiful and long-lasting restorations. Give our office a call to schedule an appointment to see if cosmetic bonding is the right option for you!
