Fast and Cost-Effective Cosmetic Enhancement
Bonding provides an affordable way to treat a variety of cosmetic dental concerns, often in just one visit. It’s a practical solution for patients looking for quick, visible changes.

Tooth Preparation and Shade Matching
Once your treatment plan is in place, Dr. Louie lightly etches the surface of the tooth for better adhesion. Then, he expertly selects a bonding composite shade that harmonizes beautifully with your surrounding enamel. It's a detail-driven step that ensures your teeth look consistent, radiant, and uniquely yours.
Application and Artistic Shaping
Application and Artistic Shaping
The resin is applied in layers, sculpted carefully to achieve the desired shape and contour. With a steady hand and artistic eye, Dr. Louie uses a special curing light to harden the resin. After setting, the bonded area is polished to perfection, leaving you with a smooth, natural-looking finish you’ll be proud to show off anywhere from Santa Rosa to Sebastopol.
