Dental Bonding

What Is Cosmetic Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding is a procedure in which a tooth-colored resin (a type of durable plastic) is applied to the tooth and hardened with a special light, which ultimately “bonds” the material to the tooth to restore or improve a person’s smile. Bonding is done to repair a decayed, chipped, fractured, or discolored tooth. If you live in Las Vegas, Southern Nevada, or Spring Valley, NV or the surrounding areas, we would like to serve you.

How Does Cosmetic Dental Bonding Work?

Dental bonding is a rather simple procedure. our doctors will clean the target area before applying the bonding resin. Then, They will choose a resin that matches your tooth color. Afterward, They will attach and mold the resin to the shape of the tooth. The resin is applied layer by layer until the area has the desired look. our doctors will then harden the resin using ultraviolet light. Once the resin has hardened, the last step is to make sure that the tooth looks correct. The final step is to polish the tooth.

Anyone interested in dental bonding should be aware that resin can stain and is most likely to do so within the first few hours after treatment. This is why it’s important that you avoid drinking liquids like coffee, tea, or red wine. You should also not smoke during this time.
