Dental Bonding for that Hollywood Smile

Dental bonding can help you fix your smile if you have small chips, cracks, or discoloration. Dental bonding may be the answer if you have stained restorations that cannot be whitened with over the counter or professional tooth whitening methods.

Cosmetic bonding is the perfect solution if you want to:

• Close spaces between teeth
• Change the shape
• Help fix receded gums with exposed roots

If your teeth and gums are healthy enough for cosmetic bonding, Rodeo dental will find a shade of dental resin that will match your natural teeth. Once chosen, the tooth or teeth that are to be bonded will be etched before a conditioning solution is applied. This process allows the resin to bond to the tooth. Once the conditioner has been applied, Rodeo Dental will apply the resin and mold into shape by hand. Much like a sculptor, your dentist will properly shape the resin before curing with a laser or ultra violet light.

• No anesthetic
