Bonding

What is Bonding?

Tooth bonding is used for a variety of purposes: to correct a tooth gap, to cover discolorations, or to repair chipped/cracked teeth. Bonding takes approximately 30-60 minutes in a single visit to our office. Tooth bonding is dependent upon the artistic ability of the dentist, since the work is done “freehand” without taking impressions or using a laboratory. The tooth must be color-matched, sculpted, and polished to produce a beautiful and natural-looking result.

Besides the tooth color bonding, as a cosmetic dentist, Dr. Jiveh has extensive experience and training in “composite veneers”. If you are looking to do porcelain veneers, composite veneers may be another options which many other dentists may not have the training to offer. these are life-like bonding placed by Dr. Jiveh to rejuvenate and bring back the original shape and brighter look in your smile.

The Bonding Procedure

First, we select a shade of composite resin that is as close as possible to the shade of your teeth. Then, Dr. Jiveh applies a liquid that helps the bonding material adhere to the teeth. The composite resin is applied to the teeth, smoothed into the desired shape, and hardened with a high intensity light. After the resin has hardened, Dr. Jiveh makes a few final touches and polish the teeth being treated until they resemble the other teeth. Dr. Jiveh can repair multiple teeth during a single visit.
