Dental Bonding, Astoria NY, Queens & NYC
What Is Bonding?
Bonding is an alternative to veneers, and can be used as a restorative procedure for teeth that are chipped, cracked, discolored or misarranged.How does it work?
The tooth is prepared for the procedure by lightly etching the surface and applying a bonding liquid. Once the liquid sets, a plastic resin is applied and sculpted into the desired shape by the dentist. Once set, the resin is trimmed, smoothed and polished to a natural appearance.
Considerations
The bonding procedure can often be completed in a single office visit, and can improve the appearance of a tooth significantly. However, since the plastic resin used is not as strong as your natural tooth enamel, it is more likely to stain, chip or break than natural teeth. Dental bonding typically lasts three to five years before need of repair.

After a bad experience at another dental office, a relative referred me to this office. My interactions with the staff here have been fantastic from the start. Beatriz was so friendly and helpful on the phone as she helped me figure out if my insurance would cover me for another exam so soon after my previous one. On the day of my appointment I met two other incredibly nice staff members (I'm sorry, I didn't catch their names!). The hygienist I saw was quite friendly as well and then I met Dr. Arraval who completely put me at ease. She was kind and professional. I trusted her assessment about the dental work I would need done and immediately made a follow up appointment. As an added bonus, the office has amazing views of Manhattan.

Always a good experience. The reminders leading up to the appointment are a huge help. Really helps me plan and remember to be there. Office staff is always friendly, kind and knowledgeable. Hygienists friendly and skilled. Yesterday's seemed to love spraying water everywhere, but we had fun. And, as always, Dr. Luciana Ares is terrific. Skilled, knowledgeable and personable. Thanks all!
