What sets my approach to composite bonding apart from other cosmetic treatments is how much of your natural tooth I can preserve. Unlike veneers or crowns that require me to remove significant amounts of tooth structure, composite bonding typically requires little to no removal of healthy tooth enamel. This means the procedure is reversible, and your natural teeth remain strong and intact underneath the bonding material.

During your appointment, I'll gently roughen the surface of your tooth and apply a conditioning liquid that helps the composite material bond securely. Then comes the artistic part - I apply the composite resin in thin layers, carefully shaping and sculpting each layer to create the perfect contour and appearance. I use a special light to harden each layer, and then I polish the final result to match the sheen of your natural teeth.

The entire process is comfortable and typically requires no anesthesia unless I'm repairing a tooth that extends close to the nerve. Most of my Lakewood patients are surprised by how relaxing the procedure is - many even watch Netflix during their treatment using our comfort amenities. The transformation happens gradually as I build up the layers, so you can actually watch your new smile take shape.

Schedule Your Consultation

If you've been considering improving your smile but weren't sure about the time commitment or invasiveness of cosmetic procedures, composite bonding might be exactly what you're looking for. I offer free consultations where we can discuss your smile goals and determine if composite bonding is the right solution for you. During this visit, I'll show you before and after photos of similar cases and explain exactly what we can achieve with your unique situation.

Welcome to Balanced Dental Studio, located in Lakewood, Colorado. Our dental practice embraces a holistic approach, prioritizing the overall health of our patients. As functional dentists, we go beyond the surface and delve into the root causes of dental issues, ensuring durable solutions.

While maintaining good oral hygiene through practices like brushing, flossing, mouthwash, and regular cleanings is crucial, they may not always address the underlying reasons for problems such as tooth decay, misaligned teeth, and bad breath. These issues can often be traced back to airway obstructions, overcrowding in the mouth, and narrow dental arches resulting from habits like mouth breathing and sleep-disordered breathing.

By focusing on functional dentistry, we aim to identify and resolve the core sources of dental problems, thereby preventing future issues and enhancing your overall quality of life. Our mission is to help you and your loved ones regain the confidence to smile, breathe effortlessly, and enjoy improved well-being.
