I’m thrilled to introduce myself as the new owner of Parkway Dentistry at Langtree. My name is Dr. Megha Agrawal, and it’s an honor to continue the legacy of exceptional dental care that this practice has built over the years.
My philosophy is simple — to care for every patient like family. My team and I are deeply committed to providing the highest standard of dentistry in a warm, comfortable, and personalized setting. Whether you’re here for a routine cleaning or a complex treatment, you can expect honesty, compassion, and excellence in every visit.
As we move through this transition, you may temporarily notice that our office appears out of network (OON) with certain dental insurance plans. Please rest assured — we are actively completing the credentialing process to become in-network with all the same insurance providers. During this time, we’ll do everything possible to minimize any inconvenience and help you navigate your coverage.
We’re genuinely excited for what’s ahead and can’t wait to welcome you to your next appointment. Thank you for trusting us with your smiles — we look forward to taking great care of you and your family for many years to come.
Warm regards, Dr. Megha Agrawal, DDS
What You Need to Know About Dental Bonding
Posted on 12/23/2021 by Parkway Dentistry at Langtree
Dental bonding is a tooth reconstruction procedure that helps improve your smile and fix various dental problems. If you have missing teeth, this procedure will help fix the problem. If you are planning to undergo a dental bonding procedure, there are several things you should know.
Understanding Dental Bonding
Dental bonding helps fix an imperfection or defect within your tooth. In most cases, dental bonding is used to repair cracked, decayed, or discolored teeth. We can also use this procedure to close down gaps in your mouth and between your teeth. In rare cases, dental bonding is also used to increase the size of a tooth. For instance, if you have a tooth shorter than the rest, you can make it bigger through dental bonding.
Unlike some dental procedures, dental bonding doesn't have any risks. However, it is essential to note that the composite resin used for this purpose is not as strong as your permanent teeth. This means that it could chip and separate from your natural tooth. While there is a possibility of chipping, it isn't as often as it is with fillings, veneers, or dental crowns. Furthermore, some habits could increase the chances of chipping and cracking.
For instance, if you bite on hard items like ice, pencils, or pens, you increase the chances of chipping. Those with the habit of chewing on their fingernails also trigger chipping and breakages. It is important to note that the resin used to make the composite material is not stain-resistant. This means that you may develop some discoloration if you smoke. You could also develop dental stains if you drink colored drinks like coffee. Therefore, taking good care of your dental bonding will help keep it in good condition. Schedule a consultative appointment with us for more information on dental bonding.
