Dial (714) 441-2372 to schedule an appointment at our office so we can review your teeth and gums. Dental bonding involves the use of composite resin to the surface of teeth for repair. This is a non-invasive, affordable and fairly simple cosmetic dental procedure. Our dental bonding procedure can be completed in a single visit.

Dental bonding corrects myriad oral health issues included discolored and chipped teeth. Though few know it, the truth is dental bonding is also used to close the large gaps between teeth, alter tooth shape and make it appear as though the teeth are longer than they actually are. In certain instances, dental bonding can even be used in place of metallic filings or amalgam fillings to safeguard a tooth’s exposed root if there are receding gums.

The dental bonding process starts with the dentist selecting the resin shade that matches your teeth. The tooth surface is roughened and coated with a liquid for conditioning to ensure the bonding material sticks to the surface. A resin is added to the tooth and molded. An ultraviolet light is used to harden the material. Once the resin sets, the dentist will polish and shape the bonding for visual beauty.
