For patients with minor cosmetic imperfections of the smile, an economical solution is that of dental bonding. Dr. Brianne Luu of Azusa, CA, offers composite resin bonding to address teeth with aesthetic issues, including undesirable shape, gaps, or permanent staining that is impacting the appearance of a patient’s smile. Additionally, this dental bonding material can also be used for the treatment of cavities or the replacement of silver amalgam fillings. Many patients are unfamiliar with dental bonding and what it can achieve.

What is dental bonding?

Dental bonding is a composite resin material that is commonly used in cosmetic and restorative dentistry. More commonly known as a tooth-colored filling when cavities occur, this material has been utilized by dentists for many years in achieving a more aesthetic solution as an alternative to amalgam or silver fillings.  Additionally, dental bonding can be used to cover or repair teeth with common issues.

How is dental bonding applied?

Many patients who hear of dental bonding are interested in learning about the process of placing dental bonding. Dr. Brianne Luu of Gentle Care Dentistry describes the treatment from start to finish:

• Evaluation: Patients are evaluated to determine if dental bonding is the best solution for their unique needs.
• Preparation: Minimal amount of tooth enamel may be removed to roughen the area to help the dental bonding material adhere better.
• Placement: The dental bonding material is applied to the tooth, layer by layer, for a more aesthetic outcome. A special curing light is used to harden the material.
• Final preparation: Once the dental bonding is in place, Dr. Luu smooths and polishes it so it looks just like natural tooth enamel.
• Care: Dr. Brianne Luu then educates patients on how to care for the dental bonding and extend its longevity.
