How can broken teeth be repaired?
Bonding by Dr. Klump and Dr. Schmitz is typically painless and can yield dramatic results in a single office visit. Essentially, bonding hides any natural flaws through the placement of a thin plastic coating on the front surface of the teeth. After treating the tooth surface, Dr. Klump and Dr. Schmitz apply a puttylike bonding material that is then sculpted, shaped and colored to suit the your needs. A high-intensity light causes the plastic to harden after which the new surface is smoothed and polished. Bonding can lighten stains, close gaps and even alter crooked or malformed teeth. At Alaska Advanced Dentistry we can even utilize it to change the shape or color of a single tooth or if necessary to remake your entire smile.
