Composite Bonding

Composite bonding involves creating a resin veneer or replacing a missing portion of a tooth by sculpting it directly onto the tooth in a single visit.  This requires a high level of skill since there is no lab involved.  It's all up to the doctor's eyes and hands to make it look great!  These look almost as nice as porcelain veneers or crowns....but don't last as long.  Resins aren't as strong as ceramics.

Skye is a pretty young lady who accidently bumped her front tooth.  She is too young to ever consider porcelain veneers or crowns....so bonding some composite resin directly onto the teeth makes perfect sense.

Mayra also broke her right front tooth.  She also has excessive wear on her left front tooth that has caused it to look uneven.
 
Mayra did not want her gap closed or the left front tooth bonded to level it out yet.  We'll get to that when she's ready.

Mike is an extreme case.  Years of neglect had done a lot of damage.  We began with four of his front teeth...knowing that it was the beginning of a LONG journey.  When things get this bad...you need to focus on removing decay and creating smooth contours and surfaces that can be more easily cleaned/maintained.

You'll notice there wasn't much left of his left lateral incisor after removing all the decay.  Dr. Quevedo had to literally "free hand" this patient a new tooth out of composite resin.  Not an easy task....
