Dental Bonding in Gardena, CA
What is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding is a versatile cosmetic procedure that involves applying a tooth-colored resin to your teeth to improve their appearance. This resin can be sculpted and polished to match the surrounding teeth, providing a natural and seamless look.
What Is Tooth Shaping and Contouring?
Tooth shaping and contouring, also known as enameloplasty, involves removing small amounts of enamel to change the shape, length, or surface of your teeth.

The Dental Bonding Procedure: What to Expect
Understanding what to expect during these procedures can help you feel more at ease and confident about your treatment. Here is a step-by-step overview of the process at Gardena Dental Group:
- Initial Consultation: Your journey begins with an initial consultation with one of our skilled Gardena Dental Group dentists. During this visit, we’ll discuss your goals and evaluate your oral health to determine the best approach for your cosmetic needs. We’ll also explain the procedures in detail and answer any questions you may have.
- Dental Bonding: If dental bonding is part of your treatment plan, the process will start with selecting a resin color that matches your natural teeth. The tooth surface will be lightly etched to create a rough texture, allowing the resin to adhere better. The resin is then applied, shaped, and hardened using a special light. Once the resin is set, the dentist will trim, shape, and polish it to achieve a perfect finish.
- Tooth Shaping and Contouring: Your dentist will use special tools to carefully remove small amounts of enamel for shaping and contouring. This reshaping is done with precision to enhance the appearance of your teeth while maintaining their structural integrity. The procedure is quick and painless, with immediate results.
- Final Touches: After the bonding and contouring are complete, the dentist will make any final adjustments to ensure a smooth and polished look. You’ll have the opportunity to review the results and provide feedback, allowing us to make any necessary tweaks to achieve your desired outcome.
- Aftercare Instructions: Our team will provide you with personalized aftercare instructions to maintain the results of your treatment. Good oral hygiene practices, regular dental check-ups, and avoiding habits that could damage your teeth (such as biting on hard objects) will help keep your smile looking its best.
Reasons to Consider Teeth Bonding
Dental bonding is ideal for addressing various cosmetic concerns, such as:
- Chipped or Cracked Teeth: The resin can fill in chips or cracks, restoring the tooth’s shape and strength.
- Discolored Teeth: The bonding material can cover discoloration and stains, giving you a whiter smile.
- Gaps Between Teeth: Bonding can close small gaps between teeth, creating a more uniform appearance.
- Misshapen Teeth: The resin can add structure to misshapen teeth, improving their overall look.

If you have any questions about teeth bonding, we’ve got answers.
While dental bonding is durable, it is not permanent. The resin material can last several years with proper care but may need touch-ups or replacement over time due to wear and tear.
Caring for your teeth after dental bonding, shaping, and contouring is similar to maintaining good oral hygiene. Brush and floss daily, avoid biting on hard objects and visit us regularly for check-ups and cleanings.
Yes, dental bonding, shaping, and contouring can be combined with other cosmetic treatments, such as teeth whitening or veneers, to achieve a comprehensive smile makeover. Our dentists will discuss the best options to meet your goals.
Temporary dental crowns are worn after the preparation appointment before your permanent crown is placed. These crowns may come off if you chew sticky food or floss around them. However, permanent crowns are securely fixed to your tooth and are safe to floss (but we do recommend avoiding sticky foods.) The only reason why a permanent crown may fall of is usually because of recurring decay around the tooth.
No, teeth bonding is not a painful procedure. It is typically performed using a local anesthetic to ensure that the patient is comfortable throughout the procedure.
Dental crowns are extremely durable, but they require good oral hygiene to ensure they last as long as possible. Always plan to brush around your crown twice a day, and be sure to floss around the crown daily. Flossing will not remove a permanent crown. However, not flossing a crown could allow bacteria to accumulate around the margins of your restoration, leading to recurring tooth decay, gum disease and bone loss, and crown failure. Be sure to plan a checkup and cleaning at Gardena Dental Group at least twice a year to have your dental work evaluated.
