Bonding

Aesthetically covering the imperfections of the teeth is something many of our patients visit our dental practice for. With dental bonding, we are able to use a composite resin made to match the color our patients prefer and cover the top part of the natural tooth.


Bonding allows them to improve imperfections like discoloration, gaps or cracks in their tooth, while still maintaining the original tooth structure and not needing filing of the tooth. With proper care, bonding can last for more than a decade!


The bonding procedure is simple and goes as follows:



  1. The tooth is prepared through cleaning and buffing.

  2. The composite resin is mixed with the color specified.

  3. The material is painted over the tooth and left to dry.

  4. It is then polished to look like the surface of a natural tooth.


Chips or cracks, gaps between teeth, excessive tooth decay, misshapen teeth and discoloration are all common reasons patients visit us in Baytown, TX for bonding. We also have patients that want bonding due to the exposure of their roots, usually following gum disease or periodontal disease.


Contact Dr. Ivi Sanguinetti today to discuss your options with bonding and to learn more about the procedure at (281) 421-5950.
