Dental Bonding

A bright smile can influence your life in so many ways. For example, it can increase your self-esteem and confidence, which can even impact your career and relationships. A smile you feel confident about can help you feel more at ease, not only with yourself, but with friends and strangers, too. At Capital Dental Design we believe in optimal oral health and the power of your smile being a reflection of your positivity, and a vehicle for joy. As well as helping you realize your aesthetic vision for your idea of a perfect smile, we are fully committed to helping you develop and maintain a smile that is as radiantly healthy as possible.

One of the most effective treatment options for correcting slight imperfections of a smile is dental bonding. Dental bonding can be used to correct a variety of issues, including correcting small chips or cracks in your teeth, making your canines less noticeable, or improving the look of teeth that are pointy or too long. The end result will be a beautiful smile that will enhance your facial features, take years off your appearance, and give you greater confidence.

Although dental bonding is effective in fixing minor issues, porcelain veneers may be a better treatment option for you if you require more comprehensive corrections. To learn more about dental bonding, please refer to the following, or schedule an appointment today. We proudly serve patients throughout Richmond and the surrounding area, including neighborhoods like Southampton, Stratford Hills, Westover Hills, Bon Air, Libbie and Grove, Church Hill, The Fan, Westham, Museum District, and Mooreland Farms.

At Capital Dental Design, we are committed to providing you with effective, considerate care and helping you get the bright, beautiful smile you have always wanted!

Aftercare Instructions

Fortunately, you will not have to follow special aftercare instructions following placement of your dental bonding, although it may be possible that the reason the dental bonding was necessary in the first place is that you have not been taking proper care of your oral health. Make a habit of brushing and flossing your teeth twice daily and follow a balanced diet that is not overloaded with foods that are sugary or acidic. Additional steps you can take include drinking more water, especially after every meal, and using a fluoride mouthwash and/or toothpaste.

Finally, the most important step you can take to preserve your oral health and avoid the need for procedures like dental bonding is to schedule a regular examination with us at least twice a year, or with greater regularity if you are at an increased risk of developing oral health issues. These visits ensure that Dr. Forbes can evaluate your oral health and identify issues before they develop into something worse. They also allow us to perform one of our three types of dental exams: a limited exam (for specific concerns), comprehensive exam (thorough examination of your overall oral health followed by treatment recommendations), or our signature exam (which includes the comprehensive exam as well as a full head and neck exam and ideas for a Digital Smile Design).
