Bonding / White Filling
Bonding is a popular method to enhance the aesthetics of your smile. Bonding can be used to correct cracks or gaps in teeth, as a filling after a cavity has been removed, or to cover up stains or discolored teeth.
A composite resin is used on the affected tooth or teeth. It is molded and sculpted over an adhesive gel that is placed on the tooth. After the resin has been applied an ultraviolet light is used to harden the resin, which is then polished to give you a fresh, new smile.
Bonding is an obvious improvement over unsightly silver amalgam fillings. With the advancements in dental technology, bonding usually lasts for over 10 years. It is a safe, affordable, and attractive solution for many dental problems.
We’ve Got the Answers
Silver fillings, also known as amalgam, have been used for decades. Made from a metal alloy, they were once the standard for dental restorations. Because the metal expands and contracts with heat and cold, they help seal the tooth and reduce the chance of bacteria entering after a filling.
White fillings, also called composites, are made from durable plastic or glass polymers. They restore cavities with a material that looks and feels like natural tooth structure. The resin bonds tightly to the tooth, helping prevent decay, and blends seamlessly with your smile - unlike the gray or silver appearance of amalgam

Sensitive teeth are often caused by gum recession, which exposes the underlying dentin and makes it easier for food and drinks to reach the tooth’s nerves. This can lead to discomfort or sharp pain. Fortunately, sensitivity can be managed with special toothpastes, gels, and professional dental treatments. If you struggle with sensitive teeth, talk to us - we can help.
Great oral care starts at home. Daily brushing and flossing are the best ways to protect your teeth and gums long-term. By sticking to a simple routine, you can greatly reduce the risk of gingivitis and tooth decay as you age.
