Chipped, stained, or otherwise flawed teeth can put a damper on your smile. If you’re looking for a conservative and affordable dental treatment to improve your teeth’s appearance, Dr. Curtis can provide you with options such as cosmetic bonding or porcelain veneers.

What is cosmetic bonding?
The bonding process consists of composite resin that will match your natural tooth color (or lighter if you’d like to brighten your smile with bonding across all front teeth). Dr. Curtis will apply the material to your flawed tooth.  Then he’ll carefully and artistically sculpt your restoration. Bonding is easily completed in one visit and requires little to no alteration of existing tooth structures. Keep in mind that most patients will need their bonding work replaced within 5-7 years, so if you are looking for a more permanent solution, consider porcelain veneers.

What are porcelain veneers?
A long-lasting solution for problem teeth, porcelain veneers are wafer-thin restorations that Dr. Curtis applies to your teeth. If you choose to revitalize your smile with porcelain veneers,  they will be custom-fabricated for you to complement your face and features perfectly. Once your porcelain veneers are affixed, you will continue to enjoy your brilliant, stain-resistant new smile for many years to come.

Which option is right for me?
Whether you choose porcelain veneers, cosmetic bonding, or another cosmetic dentistry procedure depends on a number of factors. Dr. Curtis will discuss your desired outcome and individual situation in a personal consultation and help you determine the best treatment plan.
