Dental Bonding
DENTAL BONDING IN GAINESVILLE, GA
DEFINITION
Dental bonding is a general term that refers to a variety of ways to apply tooth-colored filling material to existing damaged or discolored teeth in order to restore their natural appearance. It is a relatively inexpensive and easy dental procedure that can be completed in one office visit. In some cases, it does not require anesthesia.
USES
Bonding is a quick and affordable way to correct a variety of dental flaws, including:
- Cracks
- Discoloration
- Gaps
- Low bite pressure (caused by short or uneven teeth)
- Tooth decay
PROCEDURE
When Dr. Gallo-Urrego bonds your tooth, she gently abrades the surface of the tooth in order to roughen it, then applies a coating of conditioning liquid that helps the bonding material adhere to the tooth. Next, Dr. Gallo-Urrego molds and shapes a tooth-colored, putty-like composite resin to correct whatever shape or color problem we are trying to solve. The dentist then uses high intensity visible light to harden the resin. Finally, the dentist trims and adjusts the resin, polishing the material until a life-like appearance is achieved, completing the bonding process.

I've been going here for 10+ years. I've never had a dentist/doctor/etc. take the time to care about not only me, but my family as well. Even though I have moved to Florida now, I still make a point to check back in when I'm in town and it's so great to have someone recognize and remember you even though you only see them once every six months. I'm always greeted with a smile and welcoming tone. Everyone is fantastic. I work in the hospitality industry and train people on customer service, this staff is too notch and I will definitely be using them in my training classes as an example!

I had a great experience with my visit to Dr. Lia. First her staff was courteous and professional. I was immediately seen and taken care of within minutes of my arrival. Dr. Lia was able to fix a temporary crown and I was on my way. It has been a long time since I had a dental visit like this. I highly recommend Dr. Lia and her great staff to anyone looking for dental care in Gainesville!

Called to make an appointment at 9:32am because I had a horrible toothache, they told me they could see me at 10am, i managed to make it a little after 10am and was seen and helped right away, they were all very pleasant people with a genuine concern as to how i felt, I’ve seen enough dentist in my time but this dentist was by far the best I’ve ever been to and I would strongly recommend them to anyone.

Dr. Gallo filled 2 of my biggest cavities yesterday. I called last minute bc I was tired of food always getting stuck in my back teeth and being uncomfortable when I ate. To my relief, Anna asked if I could be there in 30 mins. We went over the price and procedures. I arrived, she took xrays, she explained to me that my cavity has gotten bigger and that the price would be a little more. I didn't care bc I wanted it filled (take my money and fix it lol). I was in and out in less than an hour! I feel so much better, now I can eat in peace. Thanks to Dr. Gallo and her staff. I highly recommend Dr. Gallo she's very professional and cares about her patients.

I went in to get an estimate on how much it would cost to get two of my teeth fixed, and I was expecting to have to make another appointment for that. After the Dentist gave me my options, the lady from up front came back and went over the payments and informed me that they could do most of the work that day, so I agreed and got most of the work done beacuse I needed to go back to get my permanent crown, but they were able to fill the one tooth and put on a temporary crown on my other tooth. I was very pleased that I was able to do it the same day because I had already asked off from work for that appointment . Also, I was expecting for the shot to hurt, but when the Dentist was giving me the shot, I did not even realize that I was getting the shot because I did not feel it at all for the first tooth. The second tooth I just felt a tiny bit of pain, nothing compared to other Dentists I have been to. All of the staff was very nice and courtesy and they made me feel at ease. I will continue to use them and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

It is with warmth and heartfelt gratitude that I write this about Dr. Gallo. “She is more than a dentist, she is an artist!”. Her attention to detail and commitment to excellence makes her by far the best dentist that I’ve ever had. I have such an appreciation for her and her talented and caring staff. In addition, the kindness that she and her staff shows and the well-run office makes each visit a pleasure.It would be remiss of me not to mention just how much she is recognized in her generous giving to the community. Dr. Gallo is truly a credit to not only the profession of dentistry, but even more so as someone who cares about others. It is through her selflessness and dedication that she continues to help change many lives for the better.I recommend Dr. Gallo at every opportunity.

I broke my front tooth roller skating when I was a pre-teen. I had it filled over the years several times and eventually got a crown put on in my early twenties. I walked around with that ugly front tooth for years, very aware of it and barely cracking a smile or covering my mouth to laugh.Last year Dr. Gallo pushed me to change it out and not only that, crown the one next to it. She also insisted that I have gum enlongation surgery to make my gums match and make the two front teeth more attractive. I fought her ‘tooth and nail’ (no pun intended) on this thinking it was excessive and unnecessary. I finally GAVE IN and had all of it done. All I can say is that it CHANGED MY LIFE. I’ve never felt more beautiful and don’t even recognize myself in pictures sometimes. I seriously had NO pictures in High School and barely any in my twenties because of my ugly tooth.Thank you Dr. Gallo for your creative genius and for being willing to push patients like me to go beyond and really create a winning smile.I highly recommend Dr. Gallo to everyone I meet.

Gallo Dental Care has totally changed the was I look at dentistry. I had a deep dislike for dental care until I was introduced to GDC. Not only are they consummate professionals, but they are kind and they really care about my dental health. I no longer have to neglect my dental needs like I used to and this serves to benefit my total health! Awesome folks!

Over the last year I have been under the care of Dr. Gallo and the rest of her very courteous staff. In that time, the office has expanded and transformed into an inviting and comfortable environment if you have to wait on a loved one. The office staff recognize and greet you by name upon entering.I can’t say enough about the experiences I have had in her office. Dr. Gallo has a very direct bedside manner, and is informative about the treatment options and the reasoning behind her recommendations. Olivia, her hygienist, has a warm, positive and welcoming attitude. Both of these women have such wonderful personalities, it’s a shame you have their hands in your mouth and can’t just talk to them throughout your visit.Unfortunately I am moving and unable to convince them to move with me. They have set the bar very high for the next dental group I use. I’ll will miss them
