What Is Dental Bonding and Contouring?
An accident can happen at any time. You could take a bad fall and chip your tooth. Sometimes, a tooth can get discolored from a medication or illness. Dr. Rupam Khanna offers bonding and contouring to fix these minor cosmetic flaws at her dental office in San Ramon, CA. An effective and quick cosmetic treatment, dental bonding and contouring uses composite resin (the same material used for tooth-colored fillings) to mask discoloration, reduce gaps in your teeth, make a tooth longer, or even improve a tooth's shape. For a great way to enhance your smile, schedule an appointment at San Ramon Family Dental to get more information about dental bonding and contouring.
What Should I Expect with Dental Bonding and Contouring?
Dental bonding and contouring is usually completed in a single appointment at our San Ramon, CA office. You don't need anesthesia, but options for sedation may be reviewed with Dr. Khanna at your appointment for concerns, like anxiety or a strong gag reflex. Once you are comfortable, Dr. Khanna will begin applying the bonding material to the desired teeth, aided by one of her team members. The composite resin will be set before more layers are added. After the layers of composite resin are set, Dr. Khanna will contour and smooth both the resin and your natural enamel for an even finish.

San Ramon Family Dental Reviews
Excellent service - knowledgeable, efficient, helpful and professional. I needed a composite replacement; the Dr and the entire office made the process quick and easy.
My first visit was to repair a broken crown. From the first phone call to the actual procedure, EVERYONE was happy to be there and extremely friendly and efficient. I was also very impressed by the xray and digital scanning tech… top notch. I am definitely recommending San Ramon Family Dental to everyone I know.
Dr.Zhu was, kind, patient, and very calming for me who has always been super anxious at the dentist. After my procedure I let hi. K ow it was one of the best experiences I have had. The staff here is more like family since I have been going there for so long. I would choose to see Dr Zhu again
An Extraordinary Dentist Who Truly CaresDr. Khanna is, hands down, one of the most skillful, compassionate, and patient healthcare professionals I’ve ever met. From the very first appointment, it was clear she genuinely puts her patients first.What stood out the most is how much she responds with care, not just clinically but emotionally too. I came to her with a lot of dental trauma, and instead of brushing it off, she went above and beyond to make me feel safe and supported.She even invested in a very high-end scanner—not a small expense—specifically to make my experience less stressful and more precise. That kind of dedication is rare and says everything about her passion for her work and her patients well-being.If you’re looking for a dentist who combines cutting edge technology with a truly human touch, look no further. I feel incredibly lucky to have found her.Christina P
