Dental Bonding in Portland, OR

A cosmetic dentistry service provided at Gifford Family Dentistry in Portland, tooth-colored bonding helps renew smile aesthetics by rejuvenating and/or repairing minor chips, discoloration, and tooth imperfections.

For patients in Portland who experience teeth grinding or clenching, Gifford Family Dentistry also offers custom night guards to protect your smile. These night guards are designed to fit comfortably, helping to prevent enamel wear, jaw discomfort, and other complications associated with bruxism. By prioritizing your oral health, our team ensures that your smile stays strong and protected, day and night.

What’s involved in this service?

To start, the affected tooth is lightly etched before a bonding agent is applied to ensure strong adhesion. A composite resin that matches the natural shade of your tooth is then applied and shaped. Finally, a specialized dental light is used to harden the material in place before your tooth is polished.

What benefits does tooth-colored bonding offer?

In addition to the fact that this material can help restore or update the appearance of your teeth, this material can be used as an alternative to dental crowns or veneers. It can also be a great choice for those who’d like to quickly and permanently change the shape or size of their teeth.

Who is a good candidate for this cosmetic update?

Most patients who’d like to rejuvenate the appearance of their teeth may be a candidate for this service. However, it's important to speak to our dental professionals about your individual needs and goals before deciding if bonding is the right option for you.
