Dental Bonding in The Dalles, Oregon
Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure where a tooth-colored resin material is applied and hardened with a special light, bonding the material to the tooth. This process can improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, cracked, discolored, or spaced irregularly. The bonding can also be used to change the shape of teeth or to protect a portion of the tooth’s root that has been exposed due to gum recession. Ready to transform your smile?

Dental bonding is a procedure where a composite resin material is applied to the surface of a tooth to repair damage, improve appearance, or close gaps. The material is shaped and polished to match the surrounding teeth, providing a natural-looking enhancement.

How long does dental bonding last?
Dental bonding typically lasts between 3 to 10 years, depending on the location of the bonding, your oral habits, and how well you maintain your oral hygiene. Regular dental check-ups and avoiding habits like nail-biting and chewing on hard objects can help extend the bonding life.

Is dental bonding covered by insurance?
Dental bonding is often considered a cosmetic procedure and may not be fully covered by insurance. However, if the bonding is necessary for dental health reasons, such as repairing a chipped or decayed tooth, insurance may cover a portion of the cost. It’s best to check with your insurance provider to understand your specific coverage.
