Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is also known as teeth or composite bonding. It is a cosmetic procedure that enhances your smile. It uses resin-colored resin material and also uses repair chips to change the shape and color of your tooth or close down gaps. Dental bonding is reversible, unlike other cosmetic dental treatments such as porcelain veneers.

Procedure for Dental Bonding

A matching resin tooth shade resembles your teeth' natural color.
The surface of the tooth is prepared by roughing, followed by a conditioned liquid to help stick the material.
The resin is applied and fitted to get the desired shape.
A special light is used to bond the surface of the tooth with the material.
The tooth is then polished and shaped to give a natural appearance.

Requirements for Dental Bonding

Dental bonding can be completed in one sitting. However, postoperative care is very crucial since the plastic resin is not as strong as your tooth’s natural enamel. Thus, it can stain, chip, or even break natural teeth.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers, also known as teeth veneers, are thin ceramic shells that bond directly with the teeth’ surface. They have a straightforward procedure and are very popular because of their versatility.

Custom teeth veneers need to be placed by professional dental practitioners specializing in cosmetic surgery. Our team places teeth veneers regularly, and we cater to each patient based on their requirements.

Do Dental Veneers Look Like Natural Teeth?

Dental veneers are virtually undetectable since they have an ultra-thin porcelain layer that bonds with the teeth. They surpass other restorative options when it comes to appearance.

Are Teeth Veneers Durable?

With proper postoperative care, teeth veneers can last over a decade. Our team ensures that veneers have the highest quality porcelains and are bonded with the most authentic and advanced materials. If accidental damage occurs, it is usually possible to replace only the veneer.

Inlays & Onlays

Porcelain or resin and outlays are mostly common. They’re attached to the damaged surface of the tooth. An inlay resembles a dental filling and is used to trust the cusp tips of a tooth. An onlay is similar to the inlay but can be extended over more tooth cusps.

What is the Procedure for Inlays and Onlays?

Inlays and onlays usually require two sittings. The first sitting involves removing the decaying or damaged tooth and preparing it for an inlay or outlay. An impression is taken and sent for fabrication. Our dental practitioner in San Jose will apply a temporary sealant and schedule the next sitting.

The temporary sealant is removed at the second sitting. Our team then makes sure that the designed inlay or outlay fits perfectly. If the fit is satisfactory, the inlay or onlay is bonded with the tooth.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is an inexpensive, quick, and safe procedure to enhance your teeth and smile. Our team prepares custom bleach splints depending on how much you lighten your teeth. A special bleaching agent comes along the clear splints. Wearing the special bleaching agents for a few hours reduces the stains on your enamel without altering your tooth structure in any way.

Teeth whitening is also used to rectify tooth discoloration. Discoloration can be a result of aging, chemical damage, or staining. However, crowns or veneers may be the only choice for extreme cases.
