Dr. Thomas Saitta, DDS
Fillings and Bonding
Crown Dentistry of the Palm Beaches' bonding and white fillings restore and beautify a smile with a minimally invasive procedure that still reads as a natural tooth.
Chapter 01
The minimally invasive option
Crown Dentistry of the Palm Beaches' bonding and white fillings services are perfect for restoring and beautifying your smile. These minimally invasive procedures offer effective and aesthetically pleasing results.
A white filling treats decay without taking any more of the tooth than the decay itself already claimed, and it is shaded to match the tooth around it rather than showing as a visible patch.

Rebuilding an edge or closing a gap
Bonding works from the other direction: instead of filling decay, it adds material back to rebuild a chipped edge or close a small gap between teeth.
The material is shaped and smoothed against the tooth it is repairing, so the goal, as with a filling, is a repair you cannot pick out from the teeth beside it.

Caring for it afterward
A tooth that has just been filled or bonded can feel slightly different against your bite for the first few days while you get used to it.
After that, it is brushed and flossed the same as any other tooth. Dr. Saitta checks it at your regular hygiene visits along with everything else in your mouth.
