Tooth Bonding

In the Las Vegas and Henderson, Nevada, Area

Dr. Satoris uses tooth bonding to correct many different problems you may have with your smile. Tooth bonding can correct:

• Crooked Teeth

Tooth bonding is a cosmetic dentistry technique that can work wonders for your smile. It can enhance both your smile and self-confidence by providing you with a flawless smile that you can be proud of. Similar to the composite resin used in white fillings, tooth bonding can match the shape, color, texture, and size of your natural teeth, as well as restore their function.

The Tooth Bonding Procedure

The tooth bonding procedure begins with a visit to Dr. Satoris's Las Vegas, Nevada, cosmetic dentistry office. During your initial consultation, you will discuss with Dr. Satoris what teeth you would like to be bonded and what results you would like to see. Then, Dr. Satoris will examine your teeth and determine if tooth bonding is the best option for you.

Once it is determined which teeth are to be bonded, Dr. Satoris will prepare the teeth by applying a gel that will etch the surface of the tooth. Then he will apply a bonding agent to cement the tooth-bonding composite to your tooth. Once the tooth has been prepared, the tooth-bonding composite will be applied to the tooth and cured, or hardened, with a special light.

When Dr. Satoris is finished curing the tooth bonding, he can shape and polish it so that it matches the rest of your teeth. After the procedure is completed, your tooth bonding will perfectly match the look and function of the rest of your teeth.

How Long Will It Last?

Tooth bonding is a wonderful solution for many of the problems you may have with your teeth. Tooth bonding is durable, as well as stain resistant, allowing you to live with the confidence of knowing your bonded teeth not only look good but also function just as well as your natural teeth.

The number of years your tooth bonding lasts depends on how well you maintain your teeth. With good dental hygiene and regular dental check-ups, your tooth bonding can last up to ten years before needing to be touched up.

Like your natural teeth, different agents, such as dark foods and drinks, smoking, and chewing tobacco, can stain tooth bonding. Also, harsh, abrasive toothpastes and toothbrushes can dull the shine of your tooth bonding; to prevent this, use gentle toothpastes and soft toothbrushes.
