BONDING AND VENEERS
Bonding is a process that improves the appearance of certain teeth that may be discolored, chipped, or decayed. Through the use of a plastic-based material that imitates tooth enamel, a dentist can reshape a chipped tooth or fill the space between teeth to improve a patient’s smile. Each bonding procedure will be different depending on Dr. Vascimini’s examination and the patient’s desires for their teeth. Typically, this process can be completed in a single visit so you can experience noticeable improvements in your smile immediately.

After a bonding procedure, it is important to refrain from eating or drinking foods like coffee, tea, or red wine that can stain the resin used to fill the tooth for at least 48 hours. After this time, you can return to your normal diet, but be sure to brush your teeth twice every day and keep up with regular dental cleanings.
Veneers are specially designed restorations usually made from porcelain that are formed to imitate the natural look and feel of teeth. With strength comparable to enamel, veneers can be a more permanent solution than bonding for chips, fractures, or discoloration, and they can be a less invasive alternative to braces. In your initial appointment, Dr. Vascimini examines your teeth and takes note of what you want your smile to look like. In the following visit, the veneers are placed, molded, and shaped to match your natural teeth.
After the procedure and a follow-up appointment to ensure comfort and satisfaction in the appearance of your veneers, you can care for them as if they were your natural teeth with daily brushing, flossing, and regular dental cleanings.
