Composite Bonding
Our dentists at Lake Country Dental use tooth-colored composites (white or natural-looking materials) to fill cavities, repair chips or cracks, close gaps between your teeth and build up the worn-down edges of teeth.
Because direct composite bonding involves the precise placement of restorative material by the dentist, the direct composite bonding procedure usually is completed in one dental visit. More complicated or extensive treatments may require additional visits. However, there is usually no need for temporaries or waiting days or weeks for laboratory restorations.
The same composite materials also may be directly applied and sculpted to the surfaces of teeth that show most prominently when you smile, for minimally invasive smile makeovers. While dentists call them direct composite veneers, many people just refer to them generically as “bonding.” Composite bonding usually is an ideal and less expensive solution for people with chips, gaps between the teeth, staining and discoloration, slight crookedness and misshapen teeth.

“I’ve been going here since I was old enough to go to the dentist and I love it!! Dr. Mattson is awesome as well my hygienist. The ladies in the front are always super nice no matter if it’s on the phone or in person. I feel like they all know me by name before looking at my information.“

“Everyone there is kind and caring. They try to do they’re best to put you at ease. And they work hard to make the care you need as affordable as possible. Dental care isn’t cheap, but they try to keep costs reasonable. I went on a friend’s recommendation and I’ll pass the same recommendation on.“
