How does San Diego Dental Bonding work?

STEP 1: Prepping the tooth
Before dental bonding, your tooth (or teeth) needs to be prepared. This involves gently etching the tooth surface (so dental bonding will adhere) and applying a primer.

STEP 2: The application
The dental bonding material is applied to your teeth in 3 layers. He uses one layer to match the underlying root color, one layer for the enamel and a third to match the translucency at the edge. Your San Diego Cosmetic Dentist, Dr. Eshom takes special care to match the color and translucency of your other teeth for the most natural- looking result.

STEP 3: Sculpting and hardening
The dental bonding material is sculpted to fit the rest of your smile before a high-intensity light is used to harden it.
