Dental Bonding Breakage

When a tooth is cracked, chipped, or fractured, Dr. Kathleen Falsey, DDS of Bayberry Dental Care offers dental bonding to save it. Bonding is one of the easiest and least expensive cosmetic procedures that involve applying a composite-resin (tooth-colored material) to give teeth a healthy appearance. If you’ve had dental bonding placed in the past, we're here to tell you what to do when the bonding itself, breaks.


Dental bonding may appear the same as tooth enamel, but it doesn’t have the same strength. Tooth enamel is the strongest bone in our bodies, and once it’s gone, it doesn’t grow back. With dental bonding, it’s important to be aware of the foods you’re eating, as acidity can break down bonding over time. Additionally, you should avoid opening packages with your teeth to avoid chipping the bonding. If you’ve completed a dental bonding procedure and feel a slight crack in the tooth, contact us immediately so we can assess the situation.


If you have questions about dental bonding, don’t hesitate to give us a call. To learn about services we provide at our practice, visit www.bayberrydentalcare.com for more information.
