Cosmetic Bonding in Minden, NV
If you have chips, cracks, or other small imperfections in your teeth, one great way to fix them is with cosmetic dental bonding. Your smile plays a large role in how you feel and how the world sees you, and cosmetic bonding may be just the right thing you need to feel confident.
At Absolute Dental, the composite bonding procedure is quick, painless, and affordable. Dental bonding is a reliable and cost-effective way to improve your smile rapidly. Whether you’re preparing for a special event or have wanted to improve your smile for years, our friendly team is here to make your dental dreams come true.
Cosmetic dental bonding is a dental procedure by which a dentist molds and bonds a tooth-colored composite resin to your teeth to repair small chips, cracks, or gaps, or otherwise improve their appearance. Your dentist will carefully shape and polish the material to blend in with your tooth seamlessly, giving you a natural look.
Cosmetic dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure, meaning it is undertaken for aesthetics rather than purely for oral health. However, dental bonding is quick and minimally invasive. Unlike other cosmetic procedures, cosmetic dental bonding does not require anesthesia or removal of tooth enamel.
Benefits of Cosmetic Bonding
Dental bonding is one of the most commoncosmetic dental procedures for good reason. It offers many inherent benefits, as well as benefits over other cosmetic procedures, such as crowns or veneers.
Aesthetics and Smile Transformation
One of the greatest benefits is how natural dentalbonding looks and feels. It can help cover up chips or cracks in the teeth, be used to close gaps or reshape misshapen or uneven teeth, and has other uses, including fixing teeth length or gum issues.
Cosmetic bonding also blends in with your natural tooth color. In fact, the composite resin is custom matched to your existing color, ensuring an even match. When the procedure is performed by an excellent cosmetic dentist, like ours at Absolute Dental, neither you nor anyone else should be able to tell the difference.
Quick and Convenient Procedure
Cosmetic dental bonding is among the fastest of all cosmetic procedures. In general, dental bonding can be performed in just one dental visit. In comparison, crowns and veneers will most often take at least two visits.
In addition, there is little to no downtime, and few restrictions on what you’re able to eat or do following the procedure.
Cost-Effective Solution
Finally, cosmetic bonding is among the most cost-effective solutions for fixing minor imperfections in teeth. Compared to veneers or crowns, cosmetic bonding is much more affordable, and an excellent way to significantly improve your smile without a large financial investment.
Unfortunately, dental insurance doesn’t often pay for cosmetic procedures, but Absolute Dental offers many different ways to pay, including generous payment plans. We want to ensure that everyone has access to dental treatment.

Understanding the Cosmetic Bonding Procedure
The cosmetic bonding procedure is a rather simple one. First, you’ll come in for a checkup to make sure you’re a good candidate, and you’ll receive a consultation.
Once you and your dentist agree on a path forward, your tooth or teeth will be prepared by slightly roughening the bonding spot. This helps the dental bonding better adhere to your teeth.
Once your teeth are prepared, your dentist will mix and apply the dental resin. They will then shape the resin in-place to improve the look of your smile.
After the resin is shaped and placed in a desirable way, the resin is cured with a special light that hardens it. Your teeth will then be polished to match the sheen of your natural enamel.
And that’s it! The procedure should take less than an hour per tooth, and you can be done in just a single afternoon. Your dentist will give you instructions for further care, but you shouldn’t need to do much more than how you would care for your natural teeth.
How Long Does Cosmetic Bonding Last?
With thegood materials we use at Absolute Dental, and our highly skilled dentists, cosmetic dental bonding should last about five to 10 years, potentially more. Many factors affect longevity, including oral hygiene habits, eating and drinking habits, the location of the bonded tooth, and whether or not you grind your teeth.
You can enhance the length of your dental bonding by never using your teeth as tools or to open packages, having good oral health routines, such as brushing twice a day and flossing in the evening, and consulting your dentist if you grind your teeth.
With proper care, your new smile can last a decade or more.
Cosmetic Bonding vs. Alternatives
While cosmetic bonding is a greatcosmetic procedure that delivers results quickly and is modestly priced, there are some alternatives to consider as well. Cosmetic bonding may not be suitable in all cases and is best suited to situations involving minor cosmetic imperfections.
Cosmetic Bonding vs. Veneers
Porcelain veneers are porcelain shells that are bonded to the front of the teeth. They are often used on all of the front teeth at once and offer dramatic improvement. They are extremely durable and stain resistant.
They are, however, more costly and time consuming. They generally require the removal of tooth enamel as well, a more invasive procedure. Veneers are often a better choice if you have significant imperfections or if you’d like a procedure for your entire front arch.
Cosmetic Bonding vs. Crowns
Crowns are caps that cover the entire tooth. They are often used for legitimate medical reasons for when teeth are significantly damaged or compromised. In most cases, crowns are used when structural strength is needed, rather than for cosmetic reasons.
We Accept Most Dental Insurance
Absolute Dental is a preferred provider for most insurances, unions, and hotels that include: MGM-MIRAGE, Met-Life, Aetna, Diversified, Delta, Health Plan of Nevada (HPN), Humana, Guardian, Ameritas, United Concordia, Venetian, Caesars Palace, Harrah’s, Station Casinos, and many more…
Caring for your bonded teeth is similar to caring for your natural teeth — brush twice a day, in the morning and at night. Floss in the evenings before brushing. You can also use an antibacterial mouthwash, if you choose, but it should not take the place of brushing or flossing. See a dentist every six months or as directed.
Otherwise, don’t use your teeth as tools or to open packages. You should also be careful about eating foods that are particularly hard, such as ice or popcorn kernels, or anything sticky, like caramel or toffy. Avoiding these foods will help the longevity of your bonding.
As always, you should stop smoking as well, and limit red wine, coffee, and heavily dyed foods to avoid staining.
Cosmetic Bonding Cost and Financing
Cosmetic binding is not often covered by insurance carriers because it is a cosmetic procedure rather than a medical one. However, Absolute Dental offers many different ways to pay for your procedure, including generous financing options.
Give us a call to discuss payment plans and to ask any questions about financing you may have. Absolute Dental will give you a clear indication of cost up-front, so you’re never surprised.

No, cosmetic bonding can’t be whitened if it gets stained. However, with proper care, you can often avoid staining altogether. In addition, professional polishing may help the problem or, in some cases, the bonding can be replaced.
No, cosmetic bonding is not at all painful, and it doesn’t require anesthesia. Cosmetic bonding is considered a non-invasive procedure, and is typically quick, painless, and modestly priced.
While cosmetic bonding can fix small gaps between teeth, it is not generally used to fill large gaps. Other methods, such as veneers or orthodontic work, can be used to fix large gaps. Your dentist can help you understand which procedure might be right for you.
Cosmetic bonding is a purely cosmetic procedure, meaning it is undertaken solely to improve aesthetics. Dental fillings are a medical procedure used to restore teeth damaged by cavities and other conditions.
No, cosmetic bonding is a conservative procedure that does not typically damage or weaken teeth. Unlike veneers, it does not remove significant tooth enamel.
