Bonding

A Great Alternative

If you like the idea of porcelain veneers but cannot afford them, Dr. Adam Rauzman recommends bonding. Since nothing is created in a lab, the quality of your bonding experience is a direct result of the artistic skill of your dentist. This is where our dental team shines.

Your natural teeth are comprised of many layers. The strength of those layers increases from the center outward; from pulp to dentin to enamel. Bonding is an inexpensive alternative to porcelain veneers where Dr. Rauzman drapes new layers of resin over certain teeth to enhance their shape, shade, color and translucency. There's no need for anesthetic and the procedure requires little removal of tooth enamel.

If you need to resolve any of the following dental issues, bonding is a great option:

• Over-calcified or dwarfed teeth
• Uneven spacing between teeth
• Severely worn or ground down teeth
• Aging, inadequate or mismatched fillings
• A single dark tooth

Dr. Rauzman takes great pride in shaping your teeth to match your smile, lips, gums and face. Call our practice today and experience the affordable alternative to porcelain veneers.

How Does Bonding Work?

Bonding is well-suited for minor cosmetic updates like gaps, small chips, stains and small defects in areas of low bite pressure. Since it requires little or no removal of tooth structure, your bonding visit is fast and easy. However, the quality of your bonded teeth rests solely on the skill of your Hawthorne dentist. That's why local residents trust Hawthorne dental expert Dr. Rauzman to bond their teeth.

The technique known as "bonding" works like this: Dr. Rauzman modifies the exterior of the selected teeth from smooth to rough. Changing the nature of surface area allows for maximum adhesion strength and durability.

Then we apply a composite resin that hardens almost instantly when exposed to a special ultraviolet light. This resin is available in a wide variety of shades for ideal color-matching. The resulting tooth is then smoothed, buffed and polished until it blends perfectly with your natural smile.

Bonding is well-suited for minor cosmetic updates, temporary correction of cosmetic defects, and teeth repair in areas of very low bite pressure. Call Hawthorne dentist, Dr. Adam Rauzman today and determine if bonding is a good option for you.
