What To Expect
1-2 hour appointment, depending on how many teeth are involved
Photos will be taken before we start to assess the color shape and discuss goals at our office in Los Angeles. If we’re looking for a cosmetic enhancement, we will need to take measurements of the teeth and discuss shape and harmony for your face.
Anesthesia is not always necessary but can be administered if the patient prefers. Slight beveling will be performed to help the transition of color from composite to reduce sharp delineation between composite and natural teeth. Most of the time, a combination of different composites will be used to create a harmony of shades, translucency, and natural appearance. Teeth are not just white! They are combinations of many, many different colors!
After the composite is applied, contoured, and adjusted to your bite, a series of polishers will be used to create a lifelike luster. In many cases of broken front teeth, care must be taken with eating to ensure that the composite filling doesn’t break.
If cosmetic bonding is performed because of lost tooth structure after grinding, a night guard will be recommended to be worn nightly.
Composite bondings can last for years as long as care is taken and upkeep is performed. Your dental care, as well as your bite, will determine its longevity.
