No matter how hard you try to avoid them, accidents happen. You may take a bad step, trip, and chip your tooth. Sometimes a tooth can become discolored from an illness or medication. We offer dental bonding and contouring to fix small cosmetic flaws at his office in Walnut Creek, CA. A fast, effective cosmetic treatment, bonding and contouring applies composite resin (the same material used for tooth-colored fillings) to cover discoloration, fill gaps between teeth, lengthen a tooth, or even improve the shape of a tooth. Life Dental & Orthodontics proudly offers dental bonding and contouring as an effective treatment to enhance your smile.
What Can I Expect from Dental Bonding and Contouring?
Bonding and contouring can be generally completed in a single visit to our office in Walnut Creek, CA. You shouldn't need any anesthesia, but options for sedation may be discussed during your appointment if you have any fear, anxiety, or a strong gag reflex. As soon as you are comfortable in the treatment chair, we will begin applying the bonding material to the desired areas aided by one of our dental assistants. The resin will be hardened with a special light with more layers added, as needed. After the layers of composite resin are set, we will shape and polish the filling material and your natural enamel for an even appearance.
Life Dental & Orthodontics Reviews
I want to give a shout-out to Rachel, who is an amazing hygienist. I have been with Life Dental for many years, long before the name of the practice changed. I have been treated by many hygienists over the years, all really wonderful, and Rachel is #1 on my ‘top 10’ list. She is thorough and extremely efficient - a super smart and skilled hygienist. Rachel takes time to get to know her patients - she remembers highlights in my life that she will ask me about at my next appointment, and she exhibits genuine interest. She is a thoughtful and caring person, and a true professional. In general, all services, from the front office to dental care provided by Life Dental are exemplary and I can’t recommend this dental practice more highly.
So glad to be working with LD&O. World class facility. Friendly staff. Top notch technologies. Great communications. Innovative approach. Cutting edge thinking. Thank you.
I took my young boys to Life dental & Orthodontics because they were airway focused and that was really important for a family! We were mostly helped with Katie the RDA and she was so great with the boys made everything fun and super patient with them. I also really appreciated how in-depth Dr. Hockel explained everything to myself and our kids. My boys can get easily overwhelmed and he had such gentle and calm energy throughout the whole process! I really appreciated that! Highly recommend this team! :) Jessie at the front desk is also super helpful and sweet!
Life Dental has an excellent Dental staff! Everyone is friendly & accommodating. Please consider Life Dental & Orthodontist for your next visit.
Absolutely love this place! Friendly and accommodating staff and I really appreciate Dr Hockel’s knowledge of what’s going on with not only my teeth, but how it all works together with my airway and everything else too!
