Transform Your Smile: A Comprehensive Guide to Composite Bonding with Dr. Douglas Hoppe

One of the best things about composite bonding is how versatile it is. You can fix any of these cosmetic flaws:

• Chipped or cracked teeth
• Gaps between your teeth
• Stubborn stains that professional teeth whitening can’t fix
• Uneven teeth
• Teeth that are misshapen or shaped oddly
• Minor issues with alignment
• A tooth that is too small or short

If you have dental imperfections and want a quick fix for small flaws, composite bonding may be an excellent fit for you. However, patients with severe structural damage may not be good candidates for composite bonding. Additionally, if you grind your teeth, composite bonding may not be suitable unless you wear a special mouthguard at night. Dr. Hoppe can assist you in determining if composite bonding is the right choice for your situation.

With composite bonding, Dr. Hoppe takes a more conservative approach to enhancing your smile. Veneers and crowns require some removal of the natural tooth structure or dental enamel, and composite bonding doesn’t. This procedure is minimally invasive and can be completed in just one visit to our office.

Composite bonding isn’t a permanent solution, but its longevity is comparable to dental veneers. You can expect your composite bonding to last between five and 10 years.

Your composite bonding will last longer if you:

• Practice good oral hygiene.
• Don’t grind your teeth.
• Avoid foods and beverages that cause stains.
• Don’t bite or chew hard objects or foods.
• Visit our office every six months for routine checkups.

The cost of cosmetic bonding can vary based on the number of teeth being treated. In Michigan, prices typically range from $100 to $500 per tooth, with most cases falling somewhere in between. However, individual costs may differ. After your consultation, Dr. Hoppe and his team will provide you with a detailed price breakdown.

If you’re considering composite bonding for your teeth, scheduling a consultation with Dr. Douglas Hoppe is your first step.
