Fix Chipped Tooth with Dental Bonding

The Fastest and Most Affordable Way to Fix Chipped Teeth

Are you bothered by minor cosmetic dental problems like a gap, an oddly shaped tooth, or discoloration? Dental bonding is a cost-effective treatment that can be both restorative and cosmetic to address minor cavities, chips, discoloration, and more. Smile Angels is proud to offer affordable dental bonding for patients in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, CA.

Dental bondings are one of the fastest, most affordable treatments in cosmetic dentistry. A dental bonding can be used to make minor repairs or cosmetic changes to a single tooth or several teeth and can be customized for your needs.

What is Dental Bonding

Dental bonding in Beverly Hills is a simple cosmetic procedure in which composite material is bonded to the tooth. During the procedure, a unique tooth-colored composite material is carefully applied to the tooth then sculpted, hardened, and polished to look just like a natural tooth. Because it's an affordable and simple treatment, dental bonding is an ideal solution for a range of small cosmetic issues like:

  • Correcting chipped or broken teeth
  • Filling gaps between teeth
  • Strengthening enamel
  • As an alternative to a traditional amalgam filling
  • Protecting exposed roots
  • Addressing discoloration

How Much Does Dental Bonding Cost?

Dental bonding in Beverly Hills is an incredibly affordable procedure, especially when compared to crowns, veneers, and other alternatives. At Smile Angels, our bonding treatment starts at just $80. We also offer consultations and pre-treatment evaluations to help you decide if bonding is the right treatment option for you. During your pre-treatment evaluation, we can prepare a custom treatment plan and give you your individual cost.

Your Bonding Procedure

Dental bonding in Beverly Hills begins with preparing your tooth for the bonding material. This is done by roughening or etching the surface of the tooth with a gentle phosphoric acid conditioner to help the composite resin bond with the tooth. This is a completely painless process.

Next, the right shade of a putty-like composite material is placed on your tooth then carefully sculpted and shaped to restore or improve your tooth's shape and size. Once the material is molded, it will be hardened with a special UV light.
The bonded composite material can be further shaped or trimmed as needed before the last step: polishing and buffing. This gives the dental bonding material a smooth finish like your surrounding teeth.
Your entire dental bonding procedure in Beverly Hills will take just 30 to 60 minutes for each tooth and it will be completed in just one office visit.

Benefits of Dental Bonding

Dental bonding has many advantages, especially when compared to veneers and traditional amalgam fillings. With a simple office procedure, you can not only improve your smile but also the health of your teeth. Here are the most important benefits of seeing your Beverly Hills dentist about dental bonding.

Affordable

Dental is one of the most affordable cosmetic dentistry procedures in Beverly Hills and costs just a fraction of what you would pay for a crown or veneers. Most dental plans also cover the cost of bonding, especially when it's done to treat a cavity or address a functional or structural issue.

Short Office Visit

Unlike crowns and veneers which usually require more than one office visit that may take hours, dental bonding requires just one visit to your Beverly Hills dentist. Your entire procedure can take as little as 30 minutes.

Painless

Unless the bonding procedure is used to treat decay or fill a cavity, anesthesia is rarely required. The tooth preparation process as well as applying, shaping, and hardening the composite material are completely painless.

Removes Little Enamel

Many types of dental procedures require removing some of the enamel of your tooth. A benefit of dental bonding is it requires removing only a very thin layer of enamel by etching the surface of the teeth. Crowns and veneers generally require removing more enamel. This is a problem because it permanently alters the tooth's protective layer and the tooth may always require restoration.

Versatile

Dental bonding is like a Swiss army knife of cosmetic dentistry as it can be used to correct a variety of dental concerns. Bonding is both restorative and cosmetic because it can be used to fill cavities, correct gaps, and more. One of the most common applications for bonding is correcting a chipped or cracked tooth to restore not only the tooth's appearance but also its function. Dental bonding is also an excellent alternative to silver or amalgam fillings which can be unsightly and aren't appropriate for front teeth. Bonding can even be used to protect your teeth against receding gums and protect exposed tooth roots.

Long-Lasting

While dental bonding isn't as long-lasting as a dental crown or veneers, it's a more affordable alternative that still lasts a long time. Composite bonding an easily last for up to 10 years as long as you avoid chewing ice cubes or hard surfaces that can crack the composite.

Dental Bonding vs. Veneers: What's the Difference?

Veneers and dental bonding are two popular cosmetic treatments that can treat minor dental problems and improve your smile. These treatments are often confused as they share a lot in common. One of the biggest differences when comparing dental bonding vs. veneers is veneers are applied to the entire front surface of your teeth while bonding is applied to a section of a tooth.
Both bonding and veneers can change the size, color, and texture of your teeth, correct gaps, and transform your smile.

As a general rule, bonding is the more affordable treatment but it won't last as long. While dental bonding can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years, veneers can last for decades. Bonding uses a composite resin bonding material that can be prone to stains and cracks while veneers are usually made from stain-resistant porcelain which can more closely resemble natural teeth. Veneers also offer greater protection because they cover the entire front surface of the teeth -- but they require removing more of the protective enamel from your natural teeth.

If you opt for veneers, they will need to be custom-made in a process that takes weeks and at least two or three office visits. Dental bonding offers immediate results and takes just 30 to 60 minutes in one office visit.
