You know you have to get to the dentist right away when you chip or break a tooth. If you’ve broken a front tooth, you feel like you can’t go outside. If you’ve broken a back tooth, you can’t stop exploring it with your tongue, and it makes it difficult to eat and chew. The longer you let it go, the worse it can get.

If you’ve only had regular checkups (which is great!), you might not be aware of some of the advances in cosmetic dentistry in Little Falls. One of the most versatile therapies is dental bonding. We use this to fill cavities, fill in small gaps, and fix a broken tooth, just to name a few.

Dental bonding uses a composite resin that’s custom-matched to your tooth color. The tooth is lightly sanded and coated with a primer. Then the resin is applied to the tooth sculpted into shape. After it’s hardened with a special light, the dentist polishes and fine-tunes the shape and surface. In 30 to 60 minutes, you’re done! And you won’t be able to tell where your tooth ends and the bonding begins. It sounds simple, but dental bonding takes advanced training, superior technique, and an artist’s eye.

If you’re less than satisfied with the look of your teeth, come and talk to Dr. Gregory Liss about your dental bonding options in Little Falls. Dr. Liss has taken post-doctoral training at the prestigious Pankey Institute, and is a Master in the Academy of General Dentistry.
