Dental Bonding in West Seattle, WA

Couple discussing dental bonding in Seattle, WAImagine achieving the bright, beautiful smile you want without invasive or extensive treatment procedures. One of the most natural and minimally invasive treatments Dr. Holliday offers to repair and enhance your smile is composite bonding.

As a natural dentist, Dr. Holliday uses biocompatible composite resin to restore and enhance your teeth while prioritizing your overall health.

What Is Composite Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding in West Seattle adds composite resin material to your teeth to restore decay, damage, or change their shape or shade. The composite material consists of minuscule glass and resin particles that Dr. Holliday can customize to adjust or match the shade of your teeth for a flawless finish.

She can restore one or two teeth with composite bonding or use the technique to redesign and transform your smile completely.

Some of the possibilities for enhancing your smile composite bonding offers are:

  • Redesign oddly shaped teeth for a more uniform appearance
  • Restore excessively worn teeth
  • Repair damaged, fractured, or broken teeth
  • Cover discolored or stained teeth
  • Eliminate small misalignment concerns
  • Fill gaps or spaces between teeth

The Benefits of Composite Bonding: What You Need to Know

At our Seattle dental office, we use composite bonding to conceal minor tooth imperfections and improve your smile’s natural appearance. In just one visit, you can experience dramatic results, boosting your self-esteem and making you look forward to smiling again. A few of the benefits of this popular cosmetic treatment include:

Minimally Invasive

When you choose composite bonding to improve your smile, we only have to remove a small amount of natural tooth structure before applying the composite material, making it a minimally invasive treatment option.

Fast and Versatile

We can often complete a composite bonding treatment in one dental visit, and this versatile option can conceal numerous dental issues, including worn, discolored, gapped, misaligned, cracked, or broken teeth.

Natural-Looking

After your composite bonding treatment, you’ll be amazed at your natural-looking and beautiful smile; you’ll no longer have to worry about covering your mouth when you talk or avoiding going out with friends.

Frequently Asked Questions

While composite bonding and porcelain veneers solve some of the same problems, some distinct differences exist. 

#1 Porcelain Veneers are a Permanent Solution

Porcelain veneers require Dr. Holliday to remove a small amount of tooth enamel so the veneer fits flush with your tooth. This requirement makes them a permanent solution.

Composite bonding adds material to your tooth and doesn't require the removal of any tooth structure, so it is considered a reversible procedure. 

#2 Porcelain Veneers Take a Few Weeks to Complete

Since porcelain veneers are handcrafted in a dental lab, it takes two to three weeks to complete your new smile. We can typically complete a new smile with composite bonding in one appointment at our West Seattle dental office. 

#3 Composite Bonding Tends to Be Less Expensive

Composite veneers are one of the most affordable cosmetic dental procedures and deliver beautiful enhancements for your smile.

What Are the Benefits of Enhancing Your Smile with Composite Bonding in West Seattle?

Family brushing teeth | dental bonding West Seattle, WAComposite bonding doesn't require Dr. Holliday to remove much, if any, natural tooth structure. Instead, she's adding material to your tooth and using it to reshape, shade, restore, and enhance your smile. 

In some cases, dental bonding treatment is even reversible, whereas restoring a tooth with a porcelain veneer or crown is not. This is because tooth enamel is removed to properly fit the restoration snugly to your tooth.

Depending on your needs and your customized treatment plan, we may be able to complete your new smile in a single appointment rather than waiting a few weeks for a dental lab to fabricate your restorations.

Dr. Holliday combines her skills and artistry during composite dental bonding procedures to create a beautiful and natural smile as if you were born with it!
