A versatile solution for cavity repair and cosmetic enhancements
At Boggs Dentistry, we specialize in utilizing dental bonding to repair chips, cracks, and gaps in teeth or to improve their color and shape. Your dentist applies a tooth-colored resin to the teeth, which is then hardened with a special light that bonds the material to the tooth. Our expert team ensures that your dental bonding blends seamlessly with your natural teeth, enhancing your smile while maintaining its unique character.

How long does dental bonding last?
With proper care, it can last between 4 and 8 years. Caring for bonded teeth is simple: brush and floss regularly, avoid substances that can stain your teeth, such as coffee, tea, and tobacco, and visit your dentist every six months.
-
Does dental bonding hurt?
No, it is generally painless. The procedure typically requires no anesthesia unless it is used to fill a decayed tooth.
-
Is dental bonding or veneers better?
It depends on what you’re looking for. Dental bonding is a quick, cost-effective procedure ideal for minor cosmetic fixes, such as small chips or gaps. A resin material is applied directly to the tooth and shaped accordingly. It requires minimal tooth preparation and is reversible.
Veneers, on the other hand, are custom-made to cover the front surface of the teeth, making them suitable for more extensive cosmetic changes like severe discoloration, more significant gaps, or uneven teeth. This option is more expensive and involves a more invasive preparation that is not reversible.
