Brad A. Walker, D.D.S.
Family & Cosmetic Dentistry
Dental bonding is a simple, conservative way to improve the appearance of your teeth and smile. The dental bonding process involves placement and custom sculpting of a composite resin material directly onto the tooth structure by a qualified dentist.
To learn more about the dental bonding process at W Dentistry in San Jose, California, continue reading below.
During the dental bonding process, Dr. Walker and his team will place a composite resin material directly onto the tooth structure being treated. Because the resin is malleable when first applied, we can shape and sculpt it to fit your tooth and correct flaws in the tooth’s appearance. The composite resin is then hardened, trimmed and polished to provide a lasting, aesthetic restoration for your smile.
Dental bonding typically requires just one visit to our welcoming dental office and, because this treatment usually necessitates little to no tooth preparation, you can rest assured that your visit will be quick and comfortable.
Dr. Walker may recommend dental bonding in order to close gaps and spaces between teeth, improve misshapen teeth, lighten stained or discolored teeth, or restore chipped or cracked teeth. We use a shade of composite resin that matches the original color of your teeth for a natural-looking effect or we can use a slightly lighter shade to whiten the color of your teeth.
Our dentist, Dr. Brad A. Walker, can help you determine whether dental bonding is the right choice for you. For information on cosmetic dental bonding and how else we can help you improve your smile, please call 408-445-4444 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Walker.
