Bonding is a conservative way to repair slightly-chipped, discolored or crooked teeth, often for cosmetic purposes. The process comprises placing a white filling on your tooth to improve its appearance. The filling "bonds" with your teeth, and because it comes in a variety of tooth-colored shades, it closely matches the appearance of your natural teeth. Bonding can also be used in place of regular amalgam fillings. Many patients prefer bonded fillings, because the white color is much less noticeable than the silver of the amalgam fillings. Bonding fillings can be used on front and back teeth, depending on the location and extent of tooth decay. Bonding is less expensive than other cosmetic treatments and can usually be completed in one visit to our office. However, bonding can stain and breaks more easily than other cosmetic treatments like porcelain veneers. If your bonding does break or chip, please let us know. We can generally patch or repair bonding in one visit.
"My experience with Ponder Memory has been nothing but STELLAR! I really appreciate the kindness, support and most of all the time taken with me. To Dr. Ponder, Elizabeth, and Lacy, you all made me so comfortable when truly I was a nervous wreck. I would like to think that I was a special patient but I see that you give all of your patients the same kindness and care. The care you and your staff provided me is very often unheard of and I want to send a big thank you and let you know how grateful I am that God placed you all in my path. Thank you so much! For those reading my post, please know that I highly recommend PONDER MEMORY FAMILY DENTAL. They are the Truth!"
