Bonding
Bonding is an alternative to veneers and can be used as a restorative procedure for teeth that are chipped, cracked, discolored, or misarranged.
How does it work?
The tooth is prepared for the procedure by lightly etching the surface and applying a bonding liquid. Once the liquid sets, a plastic resin is applied and sculpted into the desired shape by the dentist. Once set, the resin is trimmed, smoothed, and polished for a natural appearance.
Considerations
The bonding procedure can often be completed in a single office visit and can significantly improve the appearance of a tooth. However, since the plastic resin used is not as strong as your natural tooth enamel, it is more likely to stain, chip, or break than natural teeth. Bonding typically lasts three to five years before need of repair.

Dr. Over repaired my two 26-year old implants and now they are like my own teeth. He was able to use the existing implants and make new individual teeth for them. They never were as good as they are now. I would highly recommend him to anyone with implants or problems with their existing implants. He will be installing another tooth on a new implant I am having installed on October 23 of this year. It is well worth the trip to Eugene for excellent, highly professional treatment. The office staff is wonderful and puts me at ease on each visit.

From the moment I walked into the office I was greeted by a cheerful and helpful person at the front desk. From then on, each person I came in contact with was equally accommodating and a pleasure to be around. The entire office feeling is Professional yet they are able to make you feel comfortable and make you feel like they truly care and want to help you. I can’t say enough about Dr. Over, immediately upon meeting him I felt comfortable and cared about. I have no doubt that my continued experience with Dr. Over and his very professional and knowledgeable staff will be a good one and given all that I need done, I’m very happy that my confidence level is very high and stress/fear level is very low.
