Charles Zebe, DMD: The Advantages and Disadvantages of Dental Bonding

1. Charles Zebe, DMD: The
Advantages and Disadvantages of
Dental Bonding

2. ● An experienced dentist, Dr. Charles Zebe
has pursued a number of continuing
education opportunities in cosmetic
dentistry.
● Dr. Charles Zebe offers patients several
different procedures, including bonding, the
application and hardening of a resin to
restore or improve a tooth.
● As he explains to patients, the process has
a number of advantages, but also a few
disadvantages that one must consider
before committing.

3. ● First, unlike with crowns and veneers, a
dentist can perform the bonding process in
a single visit since no manufacturing
process is involved.
● Also, bonding removes less tooth enamel
than other procedures, keeping the tooth
as intact as possible.
● Generally, patients do not require
anesthesia for the bonding procedure.

4. ● On the other hand, the resin used during
the bonding process does not resist stains
as well as crowns, nor is the process as
permanent as a crown, veneer, or filling.
● Bonding materials may chip or break off of
the tooth, which would not happen with a
crown.
● Often, dentists perform bonds as temporary
corrections or for small cosmetic issues.
Individuals should discuss all available
options with a dental professional.
