Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure where a tooth-colored resin material is applied to the tooth and hardened with a special light. It is used to repair chipped or cracked teeth, improve the appearance of discolored teeth, and close gaps between teeth.

While dental bonding is durable, it may need to be repaired or replaced over time due to wear and tear. With proper care and maintenance, dental bonding can last several years before requiring touch-ups or replacement.

Dental bonding is a minimally invasive procedure that typically does not require anesthesia, making it suitable for patients with dental anxiety. Our team at Island Lake Dental is dedicated to providing a comfortable experience for all patients, including those with anxiety.

At Island Lake Dental, we offer a variety of cosmetic dentistry procedures to enhance the appearance of your smile, including teeth whitening, dental bonding, veneers, and smile makeovers.

Cosmetic dentistry procedures are tailored to individual needs and goals. During a consultation, Dr. Nikhar Shah will assess your oral health and discuss which treatments are suitable for achieving your desired results.

The longevity of cosmetic dentistry results depends on factors such as the type of procedure performed, oral hygiene habits, and lifestyle factors. With proper care and maintenance, results from procedures like teeth whitening and veneers can last several years.

Tooth extraction may be necessary for various reasons, including severe tooth decay, advanced gum disease, impacted wisdom teeth, or overcrowding. Dr. Nikhar Shah will evaluate your oral health and recommend extraction if it is the best course of action.

While the idea of tooth extraction may seem intimidating, the procedure itself is typically painless thanks to the use of local anesthesia to numb the area. After the extraction, you may experience some discomfort or swelling, which can be managed with pain medication and ice packs.
