Dental bonding is an alternative to teeth veneers and can be used as a restorative procedure for teeth that are chipped, cracked, discolored, or misarranged.
The bonding procedure can often be completed in a single office visit and can significantly improve the appearance of a tooth. However, since the plastic resin used is not as strong as natural tooth enamel, it is more likely to stain, chip, or break than natural teeth. Bonding typically lasts three to five years before the need for repair.
Our Beverly Hills dental bonding patients have been able to enjoy the following benefits from their treatments:
The best candidates for dental bonding in Beverly Hills are patients who have physical or aesthetic issues with their smile. Other characteristics for a good candidate includes:
The tooth is prepared for dental bonding by lightly etching the surface and applying a bonding liquid. Once the liquid sets, a plastic resin is applied and sculpted into the desired shape by the dentist. Once set, the resin is trimmed, smoothed, and polished to a natural appearance.
After your dental bonding, you can resume normal activities immediately after your appointment, however, you may experience some short-term effects. You might feel some sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures, but this should go away within a few days. If it perssts,hashave other concerns, please contact our office. Your tongue and lips might feel different when you close your mouth, which could affect your speech for a short time.

By brushing your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and floss once a day with string floss. You will also want to avoid certain foods like candy, popcorn, and ice for the first few days and stick to softer foods. You should also be careful not to bite your fingernails, chew on pens, or use your teeth to open packages.
If you grind your teeth, you can wear a mouthguard to protect your teeth from damage. We can provide a customized mouthguard if needed.
