What to Do With a Chipped Tooth in The Woodlands


One of the most versatile methods for restoring or refining a smile is tooth bonding. If you’ve had a tooth-colored filling placed, or any quick cosmetic dentistry, then you’ve probably experienced dental bonding.

Dental bonding in The Woolands seems like a simple process. But it requires advanced training, technical skill and artistry to create a bonded surface that is imperceptibly different from your natural tooth.

Dental bonding is nothing short of amazing. It can be used to:

      Fill cavities with non-metal, tooth-colored restorations
      Refine the shape of a tooth or close minor spaces between teeth
      Lengthen a tooth that is shorter than the rest of your teeth
      Cover a badly stained tooth
      Repair a broken or chipped tooth

Tooth bonding involves applying a moldable resin, which has been tinted to match your teeth. It is carefully sculpted and shaped to ensure that it’s strong enough to chew, yet thin enough to harden quickly and blend with your  natural tooth.

The resin is cured with a special light, then refined and polished. Patients new to tooth bonding are usually skeptical that their tooth will look just the same. Until they look in the mirror!

Dr. Cagle has both the skill and the artistry to create beautiful tooth bonding for you in only 30 to 60 minutes.  Call our The Woodlands dental office at 281.681.9442 to see if bonding is right for you, especially if you’ve broken a tooth. Even a small break can lead to dental decay or further damage.
