A chipped tooth from an unexpected accident or persistent gaps between your teeth can shake your confidence every time you speak, laugh, or pose for a photo. Fortunately, you can transform your smile with cosmetic solutions, like dental bonding. You deserve to feel comfortable showing your teeth without worrying about imperfections that draw unwanted attention or make you feel self-conscious in social situations.
At Naylor Family Dental and Implant Center, we understand how frustrating minor dental flaws can be, even when they seem small to others. Dr. Naylor and our team offer dental bonding as an accessible solution that can give you a brand-new smile in a single visit using composite resin, helping you feel more confident without the wait or expense of extensive cosmetic procedures.
Dental bonding uses a tooth-colored composite resin material to repair or enhance your teeth. We carefully apply this moldable material to address various cosmetic concerns, then shape and polish it to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
The process is straightforward. First, we prepare the tooth surface and select a resin shade that perfectly matches your teeth. After applying the material, we use a special light to harden it quickly. Finally, we shape and polish the bonded area until it looks and feels natural. Most bonding procedures take 30 to 60 minutes per tooth, making it one of the fastest cosmetic treatments available.
You might be a good candidate for bonding if you have minor chips, small gaps, or teeth that appear shorter than you’d like. The treatment works well for discolored teeth that haven’t responded to professional whitening, and it can protect exposed tooth roots caused by receding gums.
Many patients choose bonding because it preserves more natural tooth structure compared to other options. Unlike porcelain veneers, bonding typically doesn’t require removing tooth enamel. This conservative approach appeals to patients who want to improve their smile without permanent alterations.
Bonding offers several advantages that make it appealing for busy Centennial Hills residents. The treatment typically requires only one appointment, allowing you to walk in with concerns about your smile and leave the same day with the results you want. You won’t need to wait for lab work or return for multiple visits.
Cost is another consideration. Bonding tends to be more budget-friendly than many alternative cosmetic treatments. If you’re exploring ways to enhance your smile without a significant financial commitment, bonding may provide the transformation you’re looking for. We work with CareCredit, Cherry, and Proceed Finance to help make treatment affordable.
Additionally, the procedure itself is comfortable for most patients. We often complete bonding without anesthesia unless we’re treating a cavity or working near sensitive areas. The process is gentle, and you can return to your normal activities immediately afterward.
Bonded teeth function just like your natural teeth, but a few simple habits help them last longer. Avoid biting into hard foods, such as ice or hard candy, which can chip the resin material. If you tend to grind your teeth at night, let us know. We may recommend a nightguard to protect your bonding work.
The composite resin can stain over time, especially if you consume coffee, tea, red wine, or use tobacco products. Regular brushing and flossing keep bonded teeth looking their best, and you may want to use a straw for beverages that could cause discoloration. Finally, visiting us every six months for professional cleanings helps maintain your results.
With proper care, dental bonding typically lasts between three and ten years before requiring touch-ups or replacement. The longevity depends on where the bonding is located in your mouth and your daily habits. Front teeth that don’t endure heavy chewing pressure often last longer than bonding on back teeth.
Selecting the right dental practice for your cosmetic treatment makes a significant difference in your experience and results. Our Centennial Hills office has built a reputation on personalized care and attention to detail that puts patients first, offering the following benefits:
These qualities set us apart from larger corporate dental offices, where you may feel like just another number. We treat you with the same care and attention we would give to our own family, creating a welcoming environment where your concerns are heard and addressed.
You don’t have to live with dental imperfections that hold you back from smiling freely. Dr. Naylor brings years of experience to every cosmetic procedure, and our practice focuses on creating natural-looking results that enhance your appearance without looking overdone or artificial.
We welcome new patients with a $300 special that includes a thorough cleaning, comprehensive exam, and x-rays.

Invisalign allows you to maintain your regular routine, including your diet, without any significant adjustments needed.
Prior to starting your treatment, you will have an opportunity to discuss your desired smile outcomes with Dr. Naylor. He will carefully examine your bite and smile to determine if Invisalign is the appropriate solution for you. This is also a great time to ask any questions you may have regarding your smile, Invisalign, or other available treatment options.
Once you have been given the green light to proceed with Invisalign, Dr. Naylor will take scans or impressions of your teeth to ensure your aligners fit perfectly. Once your aligners are ready, you will visit our office to pick them up and begin your treatment. In some cases, Dr. Naylor may need to attach small fixtures to your teeth to aid in keeping the aligners securely in place.
While every treatment timeline is unique, you’ll most likely stop by our office every six weeks to pick up your next set of aligners. These check-ups are crucial as they ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned and that your Invisalign trays are fitting correctly.

The process begins with taking scans of your teeth to create a digital model of your mouth. This model is then sent to a local lab, where the aligners are crafted using computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technology. These tools enable the creation of highly precise aligners tailored specifically to your needs. Once the aligners are completed, they are sent to Dr. Naylor to be fitted and delivered to you.
Invisalign aligners are made of clear, thin plastic, making them virtually invisible when worn. Each tray is custom-made to fit your gum line seamlessly. However, if you eat or drink with your aligners in, they may become stained, potentially making them more noticeable.
Invisalign attachments, also known as buttons, are small tooth-colored composite resin dots placed on your teeth. When you insert your Invisalign aligners, they snap over these buttons, providing an anchor to keep the aligners securely in place. This allows Dr. Naylor to adjust the position of your teeth more precisely and effectively throughout your Invisalign treatment.
If you lose your aligners or notice any cracks, damage, or wear and tear, please contact us immediately. Delaying assistance could prolong your treatment and reverse the progress you have made. We will ensure you receive a fresh set of trays as soon as possible, allowing you to continue with your treatment plan.
Invisalign is generally more comfortable than traditional braces, but you may experience some tenderness and soreness as your teeth start to shift. The gentle pressure exerted by the aligners prompts your tooth roots to move, leading to minor inflammation and discomfort. If you experience pain, we suggest taking Tylenol rather than ibuprofen, as ibuprofen’s anti-inflammatory properties can affect tooth movement.
If you don’t have severe oral health or orthodontic issues, Invisalign could be the right solution for your smile. However, if your dentist identifies extensive orthodontic problems, they may recommend metal or ceramic braces instead. To determine the best treatment option for your needs, reach out to our team and schedule a consultation today.
