Why SmileBond?

SmileBond is about options.

Smile enhancement can be as simple as whitening using conventional bleaching techniques, or as involved as combining jaw surgery, orthodontics and covering all teeth with crowns!

The reality is (and this is what makes the diagnostic process so interesting) that no one technique or process is the only option for every single patient. An unexpected benefit was discovered when we started offering SmileBond as a patient option in our practice: better pre-op communication between our doctors, staff and patients. When more options are available to patients, time and careful communication is required so that the patient understands the pros and cons, and can therefore make the decision right for his/her situation.

Why is SmileBond an important system for dental therapy and enhancement?

• Cost: For many individuals with moderate to severe dental problems, cost of therapy and restoration can be a challenge, or detriment. For most functional or cosmetic problems, many teeth must be altered, rather than just one or two, as is common for routine treatments. SmileBond allows trained dentists to rapidly and accurately place dental bonding at chairside, often on many teeth simultaneously. Costly lab or equipment fees, necessary for porcelain restorations, are totally eliminated with SmileBond. The bonding procedure itself will save patients between 30-60% over porcelain fees.
  
  
• Choice: Quite simply, SmileBond expands your options. Combined with bleaching, porcelain and orthodontics, a SmileBond trained dentist has a full "toolbox" and can help you make the choices right for your situation.
  
  
• Communication: Patients seeking help for functional and/or cosmetic problems need plenty of information. Often patients are unaware of the causes of various dental problems, or exactly what an ideal dentition looks and feels like. SmileBond certified dentists will help provide you the needed background information, as well as the pros and cons of your various options.
  
  
• Conservation: One of the tremendous benefits of dental adhesive bonding technology is the ability to add to natural tooth structure, without the need for excessive, invasive grinding with dental drills. We have seen many clients who might have been able to afford the best porcelain restorations available, but chose bonding instead because they did not like the idea of having their teeth ground down to fit the porcelain. Through research and development, the manufacturers of dental bonding materials have made many improvements in strength and beauty, making dental bonding more and more of a compelling choice for dental restoration.
