When even the tiniest chip or flaw shows in your smile, it can change how you feel about it. Thankfully, dental bonding is a fast, easy and affordable fix.
What is dental bonding?
Bonding uses a tooth-colored resin, similar to a white filling, to reshape areas of teeth affected by:
- Gaps between teeth
- Uneven or worn edges
- Staining or localized discoloration
- Chips and small fractures
How it works
First we gently condition the tooth so the resin adheres tightly to your enamel. After matching the material to the surrounding tooth, our dentist shapes it by hand, then a bright light cures it in place and it is polished to a natural shine. Usually there is no drilling or anesthesia, and the entire visit takes under an hour.
Part of a smile makeover
For our cosmetic dentistry patients we often combine bonding with teeth whitening and porcelain veneers, choosing the right option tooth by tooth for the best result at the best value.
