Dental Bonding San Jose

If your teeth are chipped, broken, cracked or badly stain ask our dentist about our bonding options. Bonding is a cosmetic procedure that uses tooth-colored materials attached or bonded to your tooth surface.  The bonding process can help improve unsightly stains from tea, coffee, tobacco or certain medications taken in earlier years. Bonding also helps restore chips on teeth or to fill small cavities.

At San Jose Dentist San Jose, we have a simple remedy for tooth chips, small cracks, uneven spacing, and other cosmetic problems. Dental Bonding is the perfect solution for minor enamel issues that have been holding your smile back. Our San Jose Dentists can complete several tooth bondings in just one visit to help you achieve a more attractive, balanced smile.

The Simplicity of Dental Bonding

A dental bonding treatment is one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry choices at Palo Alto Dental Care. Most patients will not even need any anesthesia. Our San Jose Dental Patients love dental bonding because it allows them to achieve noticeable enamel improvements with minimal cost or preparation. To be considered for tooth bonding, you should be in good health and have strong teeth that are free of major decay, infection, or structural damage.

The Quick Bonding Process

Dental bonding is performed in our comfortable dental chairs with a safe material called composite resin. The resin we use is a high-quality, putty-like substance that is applied to your enamel and sculpted to a perfect shape. In most cases, there is no need to remove any existing enamel.

Our San Jose Dentists will select a resin shade that matches your tooth color. Then, the composite resin is gently applied to each tooth and expertly shaped to create a symmetrical tooth appearance. Once the desired shape is achieved, the resin is hardened with a special curing lamp and then polishes the tooth to a natural luster. If you take care of your bonded teeth and return to our office for regular dental checkups, your bonding can last many years.
