Bonding is a cosmetic dentistry procedure we use frequently at Art of Dentistry Institute in Irvine CA. It’s one of the easiest ways we have to improve the appearance of a tooth that is broken or chipped. It can even help with discoloration! Bonding is a fairly simple and straight-forward procedure. In fact, in most cases we don’t even need to use anesthesia, unless we’re filling a cavity – another of bonding’s many applications. Depending on the complexity of a given case, bonding usually takes thirty minutes to an hour. After roughening the part of the tooth we’re working on, we apply a bonding agent.The composite resin material attaches to the tooth. Once the resin is in place, it is molded into shape and hardened with an ultraviolet light. Finally, the composite material is polished into its final appearance. We’re generally able to match its color to the color of your teeth, so when we’re done, the treated area is virtually indistinguishable. Bonding is one of the simplest ways to fix a tooth defect or imperfection, and it’s among the cosmetic dentistry procedures we offer at Art of Dentistry Institute in Irvine CA. People from Santa Ana, Newport Beach, and Laguna Beach also come to our practice for dental implants and general dentistry. Contact us today!

Fair enough. Every patient is different, but in most cases, the complete implant procedures take from six to eight months. The dental implant itself is a titanium post that is inserted into your jaw. One implant can support one artificial tooth, while several can support a dental bridge or full arch. It takes about an hour to implant each post. A supporting piece called an abutment goes on top of the post, but it cannot go on right away. First, the post has to fuse with the bone. After four to six months the implant should be strong enough to support the abutment and crown. There is often a week or two between these last few steps. But once it’s complete, the result will look and feel like a real tooth. Best of all, it will function like one too. At Art of Dentistry Institute in Irvine CA, we restore smiles with
