We Can Help You Achieve a Dream Smile!

Teeth Whitening

Whitening your teeth is an effective way to give your smile a quick boost. It can be completed here at our office in one short appointment or from the convenience of your home at your leisure – and it’s also very affordable.

Perhaps whitening was all your smile needed, or maybe it’s the final touch on a full smile makeover. In either case, you may be surprised at the impact a brighter smile can make on your appearance!

Cosmetic Bonding

Dental bonding is another fast way to enhance your smile. Using composite resin, Dr. Call can repair a number of cosmetic issues such as:

• Spacing or gaps between teeth
• Size or shape discrepancies
• Staining or discoloration issues
• Fractures or chipping
• Small misalignment issues
• Excessive wear caused by grinding your teeth
  

Composite resin is the same material used for dental fillings, so it can easily be customized to match your teeth and seamlessly blend with your smile. It’s also non-invasive since it can be directly bonded to your tooth and doesn’t require the loss of any tooth structure. Bonding is also usually less expensive than other cosmetic procedures, making it a great way to affordably improve your smile.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

Remember in the past when you got a cavity, and you had to get a silver metal filling to restore your tooth? Those days are gone!

Now when you need a filling, no one will ever notice since we can restore your tooth with composite resin, which is tooth-colored. Not only is composite aesthetically appealing, it is also durable since it bonds directly to your tooth. It also preserves your natural tooth structure since Dr. Call doesn't have to remove as much to place your composite filling as with metal fillings from the past.

Porcelain Veneers

If it’s a Hollywood smile you’ve been dreaming of, porcelain veneers may be the right option for you since they allow you to redesign the size, shape, and shade of your teeth.

A veneer is a thin layer of porcelain that is customized to fit over your tooth. It is translucent and reflects the light in a way that mimics your natural teeth. Veneers are stain resistant, which means that they won’t discolor at the rate of a natural tooth and won’t require whitening.

What Is Cosmetic Bonding?

Cosmetic bonding lets you achieve the smile of your dreams in usually one visit. Through a simple procedure, your smile can instantly be transformed within hours. 

While people once relied on crowns and veneers, cosmetic bonding is becoming more and more popular with people all over the world - and for a good reason too. 

Cosmetic bonding helps to fill in chips and gaps with synthetic resin naturally. It helps with various issues, such as discolored teeth, gaps and length issues. Unlike a crown, composite bonding involves using a color similar to the tooth, helping the overall look appear natural. 

Cosmetic bonding can change the shape, size and color of your smile, making it the perfect solution for people looking for noticeable improvement. 

How Does Cosmetic Dental Bonding Work?

After a thorough consultation, your dentist will decide the resin color they should use. All decay will be removed to ensure a sanitized and ready base. 

After your teeth are clean, a special liquid is applied that allows the resin to adhere to it. The dentist then forms the dentin into natural-looking tooth anatomy.

How Long Does Cosmetic Bonding Last?

The great thing about cosmetic bonding is that the treatment lasts between 5 and 10 years. After this time, you should visit your dentist for any required touch-ups or replacements. This keeps your smile looking healthy, clean and brand new. 

Benefits of Cosmetic Bonding

Cosmetic bonding not only looks great but has countless other benefits, too! It can help with the following issues:

• Chips: Cosmetic bonding uses resin to conceal chips, making your teeth appear undamaged and natural. 
• Gaps: Instead of waiting for months and years to fix dental gaps, cosmetic bonding lets you close these spaces in one procedure. 
• Tooth discoloration: Cosmetic bonding helps camouflage tooth discoloration. 
• Tooth length and shape: You can change the shape and length of your teeth through this groundbreaking procedure.
  

The overall treatment is very quick and safe, leading to a healthier and happier smile. Composite bonding can be a more affordable solution than other costly dental procedures. 

Is Cosmetic Bonding Right for You?

Before going ahead with any dental procedure, it's essential to ensure it's right for you. 

Composite bonding benefits people who want to enhance their smile due to chips in teeth, large gaps or mismatched lengths. It's a worthwhile treatment for people looking for a quick and safe solution to transforming their smile. 

Composite bonding isn't suitable for people who need to readjust their bite due to overjet or overbite issues. We recommend getting this fixed with orthodontics before booking your composite bonding consultation. 

Composite bonding may also not be suitable for you if there isn't enough material in your natural tooth to help shape your smile. 

This treatment is recommended for people looking for a more affordable solution to dental work than traditional veneers. So, if you're after a safe, quick and effective way to conceal gaps and improve your smile's overall shape and size, look no further than composite bonding. 

How to Care for Bonded Teeth

Once you get your treatment done, taking aftercare seriously is essential to preserve your results. Here are some standard care tips to keep your new smile healthy and beautiful.

• Brush and floss morning and night 
  
• Avoid colored beverages such as coffee, tea and dark soda for the first week after treatment
  
• Don't bite your nails
  
• Keep up with dental cleanings every six months
  
• Avoid hard foods and candy 
  
• Avoid smoking
  

The better you care for your new smile, the longer your results will last.
