Dental Bonding Walnut Creek

Quite simply, a dental bond is a durable, tooth-colored resin applied directly to your tooth. If bonding is what’s right for you, Walnut Creek cosmetic dentist Dr. Villaseñor will get to work using his natural artistic talents, mixing together a tooth-colored resin that is uniquely blended to match the exact shade of your natural teeth. Once that’s ready, he’ll make a small etch in your tooth before applying that custom color. Each layer of resin is dried using a high-intensity light and additional layers are then applied as Dr. Villaseñor sculpts the material meticulously to give you the precise look you desire, all while maintaining a smooth, natural feel.

The entire procedure’s fairly quick and simple, typically taking no more than an hour or two to complete. Cosmetic bonding can also be used to fix chipped or cracked teeth, especially to the tooth’s front (outward-facing) surface, or it can be used to lengthen and re-form teeth that aren’t a good match for the rest of your mouth. There is very little enamel loss when dental bonding is performed, and the procedure can be performed without sedation. Even better, dental bonding is covered under most basic insurance policies.
