Cosmetic Bonding in Santa Rosa
Bonding can be used as a restorative procedure for teeth that are chipped, cracked, discolored, or misarranged, and is an alternative to veneers.
How does it work?
The tooth is prepared for the procedure by lightly etching the surface and applying a bonding liquid. Once the liquid sets, a plastic resin is applied and sculpted into the desired shape by the dentist. Once set, the resin is trimmed, smoothed, and polished to a natural appearance.
Considerations
The bonding procedure can often be completed in a single office visit and can improve the appearance of a tooth significantly. However, since the plastic resin used is not as strong as your natural tooth enamel, it is more likely to stain, chip, or break than natural teeth. Bonding typically lasts three to five years before repair is needed.

“Our patient presented with a space between her teeth as well as discoloration she wanted to correct. Dr. Robert Erlach was able to add composite to her two front teeth in one visit which dramatically transformed her smile”
“Our patient didn’t like the spacing between her teeth. After Invisalign with Bales Orthodontics, Dr. Anderson placed composites to idealize the proportions of her teeth.”
“Our patient had worn, crooked teeth so we referred her to Dr. Katie Bales for Invisalign. Dr. Heather Anderson placed composite bonding to restore her missing tooth structure.”
