Dental Bonding & Tooth-Colored Fillings in Fairfield, CT
Repairing and Restoring Your Smile — Seamlessly
Dental bonding and tooth-colored fillings offer a minimally invasive way to repair teeth and restore their natural beauty. At the Center for Aesthetic & Comprehensive Dentistry, Dr. Joseph Owen uses high-quality composite resin materials to blend repairs flawlessly with surrounding teeth — so the focus stays on your smile, not your dental work.
These treatments are ideal for small chips, gaps, discoloration, and cavities, providing both function and aesthetics in a single visit.
When Dental Bonding Is Recommended
Bonding can be used to:
- Repair chips or cracks
- Close small gaps between teeth
- Improve the shape or length of a tooth
- Mask discoloration resistant to Teeth Whitening
- Protect exposed root surfaces caused by gum recession
Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings
- Match the color of your natural teeth for a seamless look
- Bond directly to tooth structure for added strength
- Require less removal of healthy tooth enamel than metal fillings
- Mercury-free and biocompatible
Replacing old silver fillings with tooth-colored materials can also improve the appearance of your smile while maintaining durability.
Our Bonding & Filling Process
- Preparation – The tooth is cleaned and isolated for precise application.
- Resin Application – Composite resin is applied in layers, carefully shaped to match your tooth’s contours.
- Curing – A special light hardens the material in seconds.
- Polishing – The final restoration is polished to blend with your natural enamel.
Most bonding and filling treatments can be completed in a single appointment with little to no downtime.
Pairing Bonding With Other Services
Dental bonding can be a standalone solution or part of a larger Smile Makeover. It’s often used alongside Porcelain Veneers or Cosmetic Crowns for a complete aesthetic enhancement.
