What is dental bonding?
Dental bonding offers a quick, cost-effective, and practical way to enhance your smile. Using composite resin — the same material used in tooth-colored fillings — our dentists can make small yet impactful improvements to your teeth. The resin is carefully applied and bonded to the tooth, color-matched for a natural look, and polished for a flawless finish.
Dental bonding can address a variety of concerns, including:
- Gaps between teeth
- Stains or discoloration
- Irregularly shaped teeth
- Minor alignment issues
- Chips or worn-down areas
This treatment is a popular choice because it’s both efficient and affordable. Most bonding procedures can be completed in just one visit, making it a convenient option compared to other cosmetic treatments.
Porcelain veneers are another excellent solution for smile enhancement. Veneers are thin shells of porcelain that cover the front surface of your teeth, allowing for more dramatic changes in shape, size, and color. Like bonding, they can correct many of the same issues, but with a more transformative and long-lasting result.
Why do I need a crown instead of a filling?
If you’ve had dental fillings before, you might be curious why Dr. Bharwani or Dr. Le would now recommend a dental crown. A crown is a custom-made restoration that covers your entire tooth, preserving the natural root while restoring full function. It fits snugly over the remaining tooth structure and extends to the gum line, allowing you to chew and eat comfortably.
Our crowns are crafted from high-quality ceramic porcelain, which is carefully color-matched to your natural teeth for a seamless appearance. Porcelain is not only aesthetically pleasing but also strong and long-lasting.
We may recommend a dental crown in the following situations:
- After root canal treatment to protect the tooth
- When an old, large filling has broken and can’t be repaired with another filling
- If a tooth is too decayed or damaged for a filling to be effective
- As the final restoration for a dental implant
Can I come to your office if I have a dental emergency?
Absolutely. At Pure Dental Studio & Orthodontics, we make it easy to fit dental care into your busy schedule. We offer extended hours — including early mornings, evenings, and Saturdays — and always reserve time for emergency appointments. Our office is conveniently located near Gold Point Road, close to Kroger and Aldi.
If you're unsure whether your situation is an emergency, don’t hesitate to call us. We’re here to help you determine whether immediate care is needed and guide you on the next steps.
Common dental emergencies we treat include:
- Broken or chipped teeth
- Knocked-out teeth
- Lost or damaged restorations, such as fillings or crowns
- Toothaches or dental pain
- Injuries to the gums, lips, or other soft tissues
In the event of a dental emergency, contact our team before heading to the hospital. Most emergency rooms aren’t equipped to handle dental issues and will likely refer you to a dentist. Reach out to us first to save yourself time, money, and unnecessary stress.
Can my entire family see you?
Of course. At Pure Dental Studio & Orthodontics, we’re proud to care for patients of all ages. Children can begin seeing Dr. Bharwani or Dr. Le around age 3, and we go the extra mile to ensure your little ones feel safe, comfortable, and at ease during their visits. Early dental appointments help us monitor your child’s oral development, and if orthodontic care is needed later on, Dr. Le offers comprehensive orthodontic services.
Adults will find everything they need to maintain a healthy, confident smile. We emphasize preventive care to help you avoid dental issues before they start, but we also offer a full range of restorative treatments if problems arise.
Looking to enhance your smile? We provide a variety of cosmetic dentistry options to help you achieve the look you’ve always wanted. From Invisalign® and traditional braces to dental bonding, porcelain veneers, and professional teeth whitening, we’re here to support your smile goals.

What is Invisalign®?
There’s nothing quite like the confidence that comes with a beautiful smile — and Invisalign® can help you achieve it. This clear aligner system offers a discreet alternative to traditional metal braces, making it a popular choice for both teens and adults who want effective results without the look of brackets and wires.
Invisalign® works by using a series of custom-made, clear aligners that gently shift your teeth into place over time. You’ll wear your aligners for at least 22 hours a day, switching to a new set every two weeks. Throughout your treatment, our dentists will monitor your progress to ensure everything is moving as planned. Because Invisalign® requires consistent wear, it’s typically best suited for responsible teens and adults who can commit to the process.
In terms of cost, Invisalign® is generally comparable to traditional braces. However, pricing can vary depending on the complexity of your case. The good news is that many dental insurance plans include orthodontic benefits that can be applied toward Invisalign® treatment.
