Bonding

Milpitas Dentist, Peter Yu

is aware that minor flaws can keep your smile from being a reflection of who you really are professionally and personally.

Combining the latest in cosmetic dentistry together with his experience as a dentist... Bonding by Dr. Yu can completely remove those annoying flaws, in just one visit!

This one appointment dental procedure is an effective quick-fix. Cosmetic bonding can close smaller sized gaps in the teeth, or make minor repairs to teeth that are chipped, cracked or stained.

Unlike veneers, which are produced in a laboratory over a period of weeks, cosmetic bonding is done free-hand by your dentist. Because bonding is often used on your most noticeable teeth, it is very important that your restorations are done properly.

It takes years of experience for a dentist to really hone this skill and to create bonded restorations with life-like translucency and layers of strength. With more than 25 years as a dentist, Dr. Yu has the cosmetic casework to produce outstanding restorations that look completely natural.

Conservative and Comfortable

Bonding is the most conservative way to reshape or change the appearance of a tooth - without having to reduce any tooth structure. Dr. Yu will blend the composite resin, a putty-like material, into the correct color to match the natural shade of your teeth.

It is then shaped to perfectly fit the contours of your teeth, removing any smile flaws. This resin material is hardened by a high-tech curing light and then polished to bring out the natural luster. The result is so natural it may be impossible to tell the difference between your bonding and your natural teeth.

While bonding has many advantages, composite resin is not as strong as laboratory-made porcelain veneers, and can break up more easily over time. Dr. Yu uses his years of training as a dentist to help you determine which option will produce the results you are looking for in your smile.

Bonding does have limits to its use, and is a cosmetic fix where stress and function are not critical factors. This cosmetic dentistry solution is a very cost effective - and conservative option - to instantly create a beautiful flawless smile.
