Cosmetic Composite Bonding

  • WHAT IS COSMETIC COMPOSITE BONDING?

    This is a conservative procedure done in a single visit to improve the appearance of your smile. In the majority of cases, we do not have to remove any healthy tooth structure during this procedure. Cosmetic bonding is the most conservative option for cosmetic dentistry. It is great for gaps, chips, and minor tooth discoloration. Dr. Carolyn Kittell and Dr. Kelly Santarelli are able to reshape and contour teeth to the most ideal shape and size without removing any tooth structure. The procedure is done in one day and typically no anesthetic is needed—it can last ten years plus with proper care and adequate dental hygiene!


    Cosmetic composite bonding is also an ideal procedure to brighten teeth that do not respond well to whitening procedures. It’s a great and affordable way to get a beautiful smile in a day!

  • WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AFTER RECEIVING A COSMETIC TREATMENT?

    Composite Veneers

    There are no post op concerns for composite veneers. Composite can be prone to chipping if not properly cared for. Dr. Kittell and Team will discuss potential concerns or risks you may have during your visit.


    Porcelain Veneers

    Temporary veneers will be placed after the teeth are prepared. Special care will need to be taken while you wait for the permanent ones to be made. 


    Because they are usually placed over the course of two appointments, it is normal to experience some sensitivity between the first and second visit when the teeth have been reduced in preparation for cementation. At the final visit, they will be permanently cemented to the teeth and you will have your beautiful new smile.
