Dental Bonding Treatment for Smile Imperfections

Minor Imperfection? Consider Dental Bonding Atlanta, GA

September 27, 2018

Does that small front tooth gap or one discolored tooth cause you to close your lips when you smile or cover your mouth when you laugh? Sometimes the most minor flaws can sabotage your entire smile confidence. The good news is that fixing it may be easier than you think. A cosmetic dental procedure called bonding may be your answer to a beautiful and confident smile. The best part – dental bonding involves no pain and minimal sacrifice to your time and wallet.

What is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding uses composite resin material, the same material that is used as a tooth-colored filling when you have a cavity. The composite is essentially painted on to the affected tooth to cover up your imperfection. A special curing light is used to harden the material and it is polished as a final step. The entire procedure can be performed in minutes, with no need for anesthetics. Composite resin is made to blend in with the rest of your smile in terms of color, texture and contour. With proper care, the bonded restoration can last up to 10 years.

What Types of Aesthetic Flaws Can Dental Bonding Fix?

Bonding is ideal for those minor imperfections, such as the following:

Small cracks or chips
Teeth discolored from medications, trauma or genetics
Teeth worn down or uneven
Teeth rotated and twisted from poor positioning
Minor gaps or small spaces between two teeth

When is Bonding Not the Answer?

If you have large aesthetic concerns within your smile, such as a wide gap or multiple chipped teeth, it may be best to consider porcelain veneers. Veneers are considered more durable and longer-lasting for more moderate or severe imperfections. Veneers can cover up missized teeth or teeth that are significantly crooked up front.

Dr. Suway and his team are absolutely incredible. I always feel comfortable and informed with every step of the process that I've had in general routine cleanings and also fixing cracked teeth, etc. Just recently went during these COVID times and I've never seen a place so clean, well maintained, and at the forefront of leveraging new technology and tools to keep me safe. Special masks, machines to pull and filter air, etc. It was truly amazing! Super recommend this practice to anyone and everyone, but especially those that are concerned with seeing a dentist during COVID.

Dr. Suway has been a part of my family for years dating back to when my grandparents started going to him many moons ago. Now as the third generation, I love that he is my dentist and I enjoy going to my appointments! Can you believe I actually look forward to them?! He's pleasant, he's knowledgeable and he sings! I have a great experience every time I visit from the exceptional customer service to the comfort that I feel when I'm in the chair. I recommend Dr. Suway and his team to anyone searching for a great dentist! You will be glad that you did!

After more than a decade of horrible dental service experience, Dr. Suway is a breath of fresh air! He takes his time to ensure thorough work in a comfortable setting. His team is above-par in customer service and truly cares about their clients. By far the best dentist I've ever been to! And the initial consultation and exam is complimentary for new patients! I'm most definitely a lifelong client from this point forward

Don’t put your needed dental work off anymore! If you are afraid of the novacaine injection,as I was, do not fear...Dr Suway does it perfectly! I would never go to the dentist before now, but my fears have been put to rest....they also give nitrous which makes the whole event tolerable. BEST experience ever....Thanks Dr Suway! I wish I had come to you years before!

I called the office last week and they told me they were booked till next year. However, they said they would call me if they could accommodate earlier. I was considering elsewhere when I got a call from Tameisha to come in the same day. What a incredible experience. They got me in a few minutes to my appointment. My dentist was very polite, funny and was done in no time. I wish I stayed a little longer. Dr Suway came out for a final walk around to make sure that I was ok. I live in Florida and I would fly in for next appointment. I left with a smile. I would definitely recommend this place to all. Give it a try.

I have been a patient of Dr.Suway for over 20 years and he is a exceptional dentist. He takes great care and professionalism in all his dental work and has never suggested a procedure that was not necessary for dental health. He cares about the comfort of his patients and his work is top notch. The office staff is also wonderful and everyone makes you feel at home. I highly recommend Dr. Suway"s office for excellent dental care.
