Dental Bonding

Have you ever dreamed of having a movie star smile? That is actually a real possibility thanks to dental bonding. This innovative technology is incredibly fast and simple – usually requiring only one trip to our San Antonio, TX, office – but the results are absolutely stunning! If you’re looking for a fast way to dramatically improve the appearance of your smile, ask Dr. Parma if dental bonding may be the right choice for you.

Why You Should Choose Rick J. Parma for Dental Bonding

Dr. Parma has years of experience in a variety of dental procedures, including dental bonding. He is happy to offer a free consultation to patients in order to help them determine whether bonding is the right choice for them. The procedure is quite simple, and the results are beautiful, but dental bonding may not be the right choice for everyone. Dr. Parma can provide you with more information and help you determine whether or not bonding is the best choice for you.

What You Need to Know about Dental Bonding

The process involved in dental bonding begins with Dr. Parma applying a bonding material over the patient’s existing teeth, then using a special light to harden the material. The process is simple and can be completed in a single trip to our office.

Dental bonding is similar to porcelain veneers with one important exception: bonding material needs to be replaced every 4 to 7 years, as opposed to veneers, which last longer. Although the result is very much the same, dental bonding is different from porcelain veneers in other ways. Bonding material, for example, can be stained just like natural teeth can be, so you’ll need to exercise some caution to prevent staining. Bonding material may also be damaged if you chew ice or hard candy, for example, so you may want to adjust your habits accordingly.

Along with simply enhancing the appearance of your smile, dental bonding is also a great way to resolve some other dental issues, such as misshaped or chipped teeth.
