What Is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding uses a tooth-colored composite resin that is carefully applied and shaped directly onto the surface of a tooth. Once the material is hardened and polished, it blends with surrounding teeth to improve both shape and appearance.

Bonding may be recommended to correct:

  • Chipped or cracked teeth
  • Small gaps between teeth
  • Uneven tooth edges
  • Minor discoloration

In some situations, patients interested in more extensive cosmetic changes may also consider Dental Veneers.

The Dental Bonding Procedure

Dental bonding is typically completed during a single appointment and requires minimal preparation.

The process generally includes:

  1. Selecting a resin shade that matches natural teeth
  2. Preparing the tooth surface
  3. Applying and shaping the composite material
  4. Hardening the resin with a curing light
  5. Polishing the restoration for a smooth finish

The completed restoration is designed to look natural while improving the appearance of the tooth.

Benefits of Dental Bonding

Benefits may include:

  • A conservative cosmetic treatment
