About Dental Bonds and Contour
Our dentists at Emigh Dental Care offer dental bonding and contouring for those in need of cosmetic repair such as cracks, chips, asymmetry, and stains. With resin bonding, existing teeth are covered and corrected to create an attractive appearance. Dental bonding is a great alternative to invasive techniques that require weeks of recovery time and can even help lengthen short teeth and fill small gaps. Dental contouring or tooth reshaping removes small amounts of enamel to create the desired shape and surface for a stunning smile. With dental bonding and contouring, our Long Beach, CA dentists are able to create that gorgeous smile that patients desire.
What to Expect
This treatment option is fast, safe, and effective. Our dentists will begin by etching the surface layer of the tooth and applying a conditioning gel, which will help ensure the resin will correctly bond to the tooth. The resin itself is matched to the existing tooth color and shaped to match the teeth near it. After that, a hardening light is used to seal the resin, and then the tooth is polished to its final shape. This procedure is usually performed in our dental office with little or no anesthesia.
Treatment Aftercare
Patients should expect results to last for 3-10 years after this treatment. Good dental hygiene can prolong the duration, so patients are encouraged to follow a good home oral care routine and visit our office for regular exams and cleanings. Since dental bonding is easier to chip or stain than dental veneers, patients should avoid staining foods and drinks, quit smoking, and avoid biting hard objects. Even after the results diminish, the teeth can often be easily re-treated in order to prolong the results.
Emigh Dental Care Reviews
The office is a warm, pleasant place to be; all of the staff are first-rate; and no one who works here from the dental hygienists to the dentists pressures you into procedures. However, they do provide education and useful information so that you can make empowered decisions about your own dental health. I'm a big fan and would recommend Emigh to anyone.
Very professional and knowledgeable team. Doctor Todd is fantastic.

Dr.Todd is fantastic. We have worked with him for 7 years or more. Bailey the dental hygienist is equally great. We always enjoy our experience there.
Everyone is friendly and helpful at Emigh Dental. My daughters have been coming here since they were quite young and Ms. Bailey, a hygienist, has been a very patient and thorough every time. Now that one of my daughters is a bit older, she’s had a great experience with hygienist Mr. Manny, too. The Doctors Emigh are energetic and fun, always asking the girls what they’re interested in and sharing about activities their own children do. This is a wonderful office for children to have their first dental experiences.
