The Composite Bonding Process

Unlike porcelain veneers, which require teeth to be filed down and patients to wait for their veneers to be crafted at a dental laboratory, cosmetic bonding can be completed in painless visit to our offices. The first step to any cosmetic or restorative dentistry procedure at Smile San Diego of Mission Valley and Chula Vista is always a candid consultation with one of our highly trained cosmetic dentists. Once you and your dentist have determined that cosmetic bonding is the right solution for your smile, your dentist will lightly scuff the surface of the tooth or teeth to be treated. He or she will then select the shade of a special composite resin bonding material that matches the shade of your teeth most closely and paint the material onto your teeth. The resin will be artistically sculpted by hand to mask cosmetic imperfections and closely match your natural teeth in shape and size. Once the perfect look is achieved, the resin bonding will be permanently hardened with a special light.

Though the composite resin used in dental bonding is not as durable as porcelain veneer, with the proper care and maintenance, our cosmetic dentistry patients enjoy their newly-shaped smiles for many years to come.
