Direct Bonding is a "one step" process where Dr., Rickards bonds the actual white filling material to your teeth to close gaps, lengthen teeth and mask discolorations. Direct bonding does not last as long as veneers, but is an excellent, less costly alternative to porcelain laminate veneers. Direct bonding often requires no freezing and can be completed in one appointment. Candidates for direct bonding must be chosen carefully as it is a very technique sensitive procedure. Patients undergo specific evaluation with Dr. Rickards before suggesting direct bonding as a treatment option. If there is something about your smile that you want to change or a chip that has always bothered you, feel free to ask what your options may be.
