Dental Bonding in Upland and Fontana
Are you looking to rejuvenate your smile and address minor imperfections? Dental bonding offers a versatile and cost-effective solution to enhance the appearance of your teeth. With the application of a tooth-colored resin material, our skilled dentists can sculpt and shape your teeth, giving you a natural-looking and confident smile. Additionally, maintaining good oral hygiene is essential to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of the bonding treatment. For more extensive dental restorations, such as missing teeth, dental implants may be considered as an alternative solution.
What is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding is a procedure that uses a pliable tooth-colored resin material to restore and rejuvenate your smile. The resin is expertly shaped and bonded to your teeth, improving their appearance, shape, and alignment. This versatile treatment can address various cosmetic issues, such as decayed teeth, chips, cracks, discoloration, and gaps.
Our experienced dentists approach dental bonding as both an artistic endeavor and a precision-driven technique. They carefully sculpt the resin to seamlessly blend with your natural teeth, creating a cohesive and beautiful smile. The procedure is comfortable, efficient, and provides immediate results, allowing you to transform minor imperfections into a confident and captivating smile.

Compared to other cosmetic treatments like veneers or dental crowns, dental bonding is a more cost-effective option. Dental bonding delivers significant cosmetic improvements at a relatively lower cost, making it accessible for a wider range of patients.
The Dental Bonding Process
1. Consultation and Planning: The journey to a brighter smile begins with a consultation. Our dental team will assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if dental bonding is the right option for you. We will also explain the procedure in detail and address any questions or concerns you may have.
​
2. Preparation: In most cases, anesthesia is not necessary for dental bonding. To prepare your teeth, our dentist will gently roughen the surface using a conditioning liquid. This helps create a stronger bond between the tooth and the composite resin material, ensuring that the gum tissue remains undisturbed during the procedure.
​
3. Resin Application: Resin Application: The tooth-colored resin material is carefully applied to your teeth. Our skilled dental professionals have the artistic ability to shape and sculpt the resin, ensuring it blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. The resin is precisely placed to address your specific concerns, such as chips, cracks, or discoloration
4. Bonding and Curing: Once the resin is in place, a special curing light is used to harden and bond it to your teeth. This process typically takes a few seconds per tooth. The bonding ensures the durability and longevity of the resin material.
​
5. Adjustments: After the resin has hardened, our dental team will make any necessary adjustments to the shape, contour, and color. We meticulously refine the bonding to achieve a smooth and natural appearance that seamlessly integrates with your existing teeth.
​
6. Polishing and Finishing: To complete the dental bonding process, your teeth will be polished to a high shine, providing a beautifully radiant finish. This final step ensures that the bonded teeth blend harmoniously with your natural teeth, creating a seamless and aesthetically pleasing smile.
