Cosmetic Bonding
Cosmetic bonding is a procedure that uses a composite resin or a dense, formable plastic that looks and feels just like the enamel on your tooth. The composite material can be used to fill in chips or to add length or width to a tooth to achieve the size and shape you desire. With a skilled dentist like Dr. Jeremy Jorgenson, you can achieve the look you want in just one visit. Dr. Jorgenson will review the bonding process and collaborate with you to determine the size, shape, and color you desire. Then he will directly apply the composite material to your tooth and use a curing light to harden the material. Voila! You have a beautiful, strong, healthy smile!

Dental Fillings
Dental fillings are used when the tooth is decayed or fractured requiring both a clinical and cosmetic fix. Dr. Jorgenson uses the same composite resin used in dental bonding, but also removes any decay from the tooth ensuring the tooth is healthy and prepped for the bonding. Both the indirect and direct bonding techniques are actually comprised of several procedures.
Prepping the Tooth: may be necessary to trim away any decayed or sharp surfaces- Etching: acidic solution applied to make a better surface for the bonding material to adhere to
- Applying the Bonding Agent: the glue that holds the composite to the tooth
- Applying the Composite
- Direct Bonding: the composite is placed directly on the tooth in layers
- Indirect Bonding: the composite is formed outside of the mouth and then applied to the tooth
- Curing: a blue light that causes the composite and bonding agent to harden together
- Shaping and Polishing to Perfection!
Each step is necessary to ensure that your bonding restoration is the perfect size, shape, smoothness, and color to achieve the best function, health, and aesthetic of the tooth!

So the day has finally come. Your dentist has told you that one of your teeth is extremely damaged and that you need root canal therapy. You have been dreading this for years.

Actually, the “pain” often associated with the procedure is a complete myth, all thanks to modern dentistry. Root canal therapy is actually one of the best ways to relieve your worst dental pain, not cause it.
