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
I had an amazing experience at Dr. Rupam's office! From start to finish, the team was professional, friendly, and made me feel completely at ease. The office is clean, modern, and well-organized, and the staff ensures everything runs smoothly. I have been going to various dentist's for the last 30 years. This by far has been the best experience. Thrilled to say I finally found the perfect dentist!!
Dr Khanna and her staff are the absolute best. I have recommended her to so many friends and they all love this practice. The hygienists are thorough and take their time always checking in to make sure you are okay. Dr Khanna is so kind and very straight forward about your check up. She will tell you what she thinks needs to be taken care of right away and what she will keep watching. I always appreciate her honesty. She is so knowledgeable, kind and a true professional while still being so approachable. The staff will always answer any questions you have and take their time to make sure you re comfortable. I will continue recommending this dental group to everyone I know. They make you feel like family.
I recently had three wisdom teeth extracted by Phan and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the initial consultation to the post-procedure care, he was incredibly attentive, professional and genuinely invested in my well-being. He took the time to explain everything clearly, which made me feel at ease going into the procedure. During the extraction, his expertise and precision were evident, and he ensured I was comfortable throughout. Dr. Phan checked on me same day post extractions and made himself available to me during the weeks after to ensure recovery was going smooth. I highly recommend Dr. Phan to anyone in need of an oral surgeon who truly cares about his patients!
I would give the team at San Ramon Family Dental a A+ in all categories. Thank you for helping improve my dental health!!
Dr Rupam Khanna is an excellent dentist and is very caring and considerate with her patients.
