We hear the word 'BONDING' all the time in dentistry and most of the time we think of ugly, brown stained teeth placed by old Doc Jones. Bonding means that we get 'something' (either porcelain, a glass, or resin) to adhere to teeth.
The art of direct bonding is similar to a master woodworker or a master mason. Yes anyone can bond to teeth or place some molding but only the true artisan creates beauty.
In the above photos, my patient hardly shows any teeth when she smiles and she was very self conscious about this as she became older. She may BE older but she doesn't want to LOOK older. I bonded 7 upper front teeth WITHOUT REMOVING ANY TOOTH STRUCTURE. You could never tell but the upper front tooth ON YOUR RIGHT is totally a natural tooth.
Isn't it wonderful that we are able to fix teeth without taking away ANY TOOTH STRUCTURE and in such a manner that it matches the natural tooth PERFECTLY. How is this possible??? Education, talent, skill and practice,practice, practice.
Dr. Newton Fahl, the undesputed BEST direct bonding dentist in the world has taught me how to perfectly match teeth. And for an old guy...I am a pretty good student.
Please select the people that take care of you and your family carefully. It is how you will save your teeth.
