Bonding

Bonding is a cosmetic procedure that allows the dentist to reshape or repair your smile using composite resin. Cosmetic bonding is particularly ideal if you’re insecure about the appearance of your smile or want an affordable alternative to invasive and more costly procedures such as orthodontics or veneers. With bonding, chipped or uneven teeth can be repaired easily and affordably, restoring your self-confidence. Additionally, bonding is often completed in a single visit and doesn’t require any anesthetic! 

As with most cosmetic procedures, bonding will wear and discolor over time, eventually needing to be replaced; however, bonding is very durable and typically lasts many years.  

Reasons for cosmetic bonding:

  • Closing spaces or gaps
  • Fixing chipped teeth
  • Fixing decayed teeth (teeth with cavities)
  • Lengthening uneven teeth
  • Protecting roots exposed by receding gums
  • Restoring badly discolored teeth

What does dental bonding involve?

To begin, the dentist will isolate the teeth included in the procedure, etching them in preparation for bonding.  After applying the etching conditioning liquid, the surface of the teeth will have small crevices that allow the tooth stronger adhesion with the bonding agent. 

The dentist will then apply a bonding resin which cements the composite in place.  After several layers of tooth-colored composite are applied, the composite and bonding resin are shaped and hardened with a specially calibrated light.  Once the composite is fully set, the bonded areas are smoothed, buffed, and polished to blend in naturally with the surrounding teeth.

Testimonials

I cannot recommend Dr. Sassani and his team enough. I came into his office in literal tears, I had neglected to go to the dentist for a few years and was paying for it with a very bad infection. Dr. Sassani was very empathetic, his first and foremost goal was to relieve me of my immediate pain, and that he did. From there, he developed a simple plan to get my dental health back in order. That was a few months ago, and today I just went in to finish my crown and get the last few cavities taken care of (we had put a temporary on and waited for the new year for my insurance to renew). I finally have a healthy mouth again and a huge burden of stress has been taken off my shoulders because of this

DR Andre Sassani is an artist. He works quickly and gently, handling injections, fillings, crowns and you-name-it with ease. As he works, he asks if your'e ok, tells you what he's doing, answers questions, provides guidance. He is respectful of your time. He is polite to his staff.
Office staff is delightful, professional, kind. Hygenist is gentle and full of information.
It's a win all around.

Yelp Review April 2015

Description of Experience: My husband had two wisdom teeth that were causing him significant pain. In addition, he had not been seeing a dentist regularly for an extended period of time due to unfortunate experiences with dentists earlier in his life.
Member Comments: My husband is still raving about Dr. Sassani. He and his staff were very calming, supportive, informative, and not condescending or judgmental about my husband's dental condition. They were extremely flexible with appointment times and did their best to get him in as soon as possible, even calling when other patients cancelled their appointments to see if he wanted those earlier spots.
When he was finally in the chair, they checked on him during his procedures (cleanings and extractions) frequently to make sure he was comfortable and coping well, and everyone was very friendly. Even when they were having issues with some of his deep cleaning, they remained positive and supportive which really helped my husband overcome his fear of the whole experience. I know my husband is challenging on a good day; they made an excellent impression on his first visit with them, and he will be using them regularly from now on and looks forward to his next visit. That's what I call a success story
