Dr. Swanson adheres the material directly to the surface of your tooth, he then hardens the material with a bright ultraviolet light. We feel that cosmetic bonding is a great option, it will improve the look and shape of your tooth and is much lower in cost than other repair options.

Some patients may prefer solutions that are more permanent including dental crowns, bridges, and porcelain veneers. All these options should be discussed with our Seattle office.

The lifespan of dental bonding can be expected to be between 3-10 years. Contact our office today at (206) 633-1048 for more information. |
