We thoroughly clean the tooth and mildly roughen the outermost layer of enamel to ensure a powerful hold.
A light conditioning coat is applied to prepare the surface for seamless adhesion.
Our team carefully places the composite resin, molding it by hand to fix chips, close gaps, or adjust the tooth's shape.
We use a specialized curing light to instantly harden the resin, bonding it permanently to your tooth structure.
We smooth and polish the restoration until it matches the natural, glossy texture of your neighboring teeth.
Even though fixing a chipped or gapped tooth with dental bonding takes less than an hour, we know a difficult past experience can still make scheduling an appointment feel daunting. Dr. Karamardian, Dr. Diercks, Dr. Berozsky, and our Los Gatos team offer multiple levels of sedation so you can get the smile you want without a single moment of panic. Watch this short video to see how we tailor our care to put you completely in control of your comfort.
If you have healthy teeth and gums but want to fix minor cosmetic or structural flaws, you are likely an ideal fit. This treatment is highly effective for resolving chipped or cracked enamel, deep stains, misshapen teeth, or small gaps between teeth.
With good home care and regular professional checkups, your dental bonding results can easily last 10 years or more. To keep the resin looking its best, we recommend avoiding biting on exceptionally hard objects like ice or using your teeth as opening tools.
Not at all. Because we only need to lightly roughen the surface of your enamel rather than altering the deeper structure of the tooth, the process is completely non-invasive. Most patients do not require any numbing or local anesthesia to remain completely relaxed.
The entire process is completed in just a single visit to our Los Gatos office. We can typically repair one or more teeth in about an hour, allowing you to walk out with immediate, beautiful results.
