Cosmetic Dental Bonding in Foley, AL
Dental bonding is one of the easiest and least expensive cosmetic dental procedures to improve your smile in Foley, AL.
Cosmetic dental bonding is a restoration technique where a tooth-like resin is carefully sculpted and secured to the surface of your tooth or teeth. It creates a strong, durable covering that looks just like your natural tooth enamel. Foley Dental Associates dentists perform dental bonding in our Foley, AL, cosmetic dental offices.
Common Reasons for Cosmetic Dental Bonding:

- Tooth decay
- lengthen teeth

- Change the shape of your tooth
- Alternative to porcelain veneers
While cost effective, there are some limitations to cosmetic dental bonding. The composite resin used in dental bonding is not as strong as your actual tooth. And it isn’t as strong as the other alternatives like porcelain veneers. If you choose to receive dental bonding in our Foley, AL office to repair a chipped or cracked tooth, it will eventually need to be replaced it will look like its part of your tooth. If you bite your nails, chew on ice, pens, or pencils, or other hard substances, these resin cosmetic bondings may break and you may need to replace them with stronger options in porcelain. You will need to replace it sooner than later. How long your cosmetic dental bonding lasts depends on where and how much bonding was done and how well you take care of it.
