Artistic Dental Bonding in Woodlands Texas

Are your teeth chipped or gapped? Do you have stains that whitening just won’t touch? Do you think you could use some dental veneers but worry about the commitment they might require? Dental bonding might be just the procedure you have been looking for. You would be surprised at the difference this simple and painless procedure can make in your smile. But it is important to remember that dental bonding is performed directly on your teeth so you want to find a dentist that has something of an artistic eye and sensibility. This is very important to the bonding outcome, because if the material is not correctly balanced for color or matched to your shade and texture, it will look odd and unnatural. I use the highest quality bonding material and have been trained in bonding techniques to make sure your smile looks and feels natural and that your bonding lasts as long as possible. Remember though, that bonding material is not as strong as porcelain veneers so you need to be careful not to use your teeth as tools and to avoid stains.

Protecting Woodlands’ Smiles with Sealants

 Your kids just light up your life when they smile, don’t they? Those smiles are precious and you want to do everything you can to keep them healthy, safe and strong. That’s why I recommend dental sealants for all of my young patients. They coat the chewing surfaces of kids’ teeth, sealing them and acting as a barrier against bacteria and acids. This is especially important for kids who have deep grooves in their teeth but it can benefit any child. Kids love to eat candy, drink juice and chew gum and dental sealants help keep the sugary snacks they love so much from staying in the vulnerable cracks and crevices where they can do so much damage. It is a very simple procedure and only takes a few minutes. We just brush on the sealant and your child’s smile is ready to go!
