- Resin CompositeBonded teeth should be brushed and flossed daily, and professionally cleaned at the dental office twice per year, just the same as the rest of your teeth. The most important thing to keep in mind about caring for your bonded tooth is that composite resin can absorb stain, just as natural teeth can. Therefore, you will want to avoid smoking, red wine, coffee and tea to the extent possible. Also, while composite can darken, it cannot be lightened. So if you are thinking about having your teeth whitened, it should be done before your tooth is bonded so that a composite shade can be selected to match the lighter color of your whitened teeth. If you whiten your teeth after bonding, the bonded tooth may not match all the rest. Finally, try not to bite your nails, hold writing implements in your mouth, or use your teeth in other ways that could put excessive force on the bonding material and chip it. With proper care, a bonded tooth should stay beautiful for 3 to 10 years.

- CrownsA dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap to cover the tooth and protect it. Once a dental crown is installed, it may be indistinguishable from other teeth, depending on what kind of material it’s made from.
- Dental BondingWe are proud of the ways in which dentistry can restore broken or decayed teeth to full beauty and function. One of the easiest and least expensive ways of doing this is with tooth bonding.
- Restorative Dentistry
- Root Canal TreatmentDental fillings do just what the name implies – seal a small hole in your tooth, i.e., a cavity, caused by decay. This prevents the decay (a bacteria-induced infection) from spreading further into your tooth and, if untreated, continue on to the sensitive inner pulp (nerve) tissue located in the root canal.
- DenturesPoor nutrition that occurs due to not being able to properly chew food is just one potential consequence of missing teeth. People who still retain some of their teeth also run the risk of those teeth shifting and causing problems with alignment. Western Slope Dental Center is pleased to offer full or partial removable dentures in Grand Junction, CO for better oral health and a smile patients will be proud to display.
