Independence Family and Cosmetic Dentistry
We often find that patients with simple aesthetic imperfections feel negatively toward their entire smile. Fortunately if you suffer from a minor problem like a chipped or extremely pointed tooth, we can address your concerns with bonding and contouring.
Bonding is a cosmetic treatment that replaces or fills in areas of missing tooth tissue, or covers problem spots. Dr. Roberson will use composite, the synthetic-resin material we use for tooth-colored fillings, to improve the appearance of your smile.
