The tooth bonding procedure is simple. When you come into our
Cherry Creek, Denver dental office, we begin by evaluating if dental bonding is the best solution for you. We will roughen the area where we will apply the procedure.
We then apply the putty and adjust it to achieve the desired shape. This may take several layers of application. After applying the bonding, we use a curing light to harden it.
Once the bonding hardens, we will polish it to better match your natural tooth enamel.
Advantages of Tooth Bonding
Dental bonding has several advantages:
- You can apply it flexibly to almost any area of your teeth
- You can complete the procedure in one short dental visit
- It can be color matched to your natural tooth to give a good cosmetic result
- The cost of dental bonding is generally less than for other treatments
- Caring for bonded teeth and natural teeth are the same
This makes for a good option for some dental problems.
Disadvantages of Dental Bonding
This procedure is not always the best solution to your dental problems, however. Its disadvantages include:
- It is not as strong as other dental restorations and often has a short expected life
- It is not as aesthetic as other dental restorations
- Results are highly dependent on the skill of your dentist
For these reasons, some people opt for porcelain restorations such as porcelain veneers or porcelain inlays or onlays for treatment of these dental problems.

While in dental school at The University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, Dr. Johnston served 4 years with dental missions in Mexico. This extracurricular activity allowed for an early start and additional hands on training while in school. Before graduating, in 2003, Dr. Johnston did an internship at the Brownsville Community Health Clinic on the Mexico – Texas border. Here, Dr. Johnston received more additional hands on dental education tending to low income individuals with extensive dental needs.
In 2008, Dr. Johnston decided to create Ascent Dental Group, the culmination of his lifelong dental journey. As a dentist in the Denver, CO area, he is dedicated to creating an environment where doctor and patient have a strong lasting relationship that allows successful communication for better patient treatment, a product of being raised in a small town.
