What Is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding uses a tooth-colored composite resin that is applied, shaped, and polished directly on your tooth. This simple yet effective treatment restores both appearance and function, making it an excellent choice for minor cosmetic concerns.

Benefits of Dental Bonding

Bonding is one of the most versatile cosmetic treatments available. It blends with your natural enamel and offers immediate improvement with minimal preparation.

• Repairs Chips & Cracks Restores shape and strength for a smooth, even smile. Great for minor damage
• Covers Stubborn Stains Ideal for discoloration that whitening cannot remove.
• Closes Small Gaps A fast alternative to orthodontic treatment for slight spacing.

Why Choose Bonding?

Bonding is a preferred choice in cosmetic dentistry due to its convenience and natural appearance. It is also less invasive and more affordable than alternative treatments such as porcelain veneers, making it a popular option for patients looking for quick improvements without major changes to their tooth structure.

The Dental Bonding Process

The tooth is lightly prepared to help the resin adhere. A bonding agent is applied, followed by tooth-colored composite material that is shaped to your desired contour. Once perfected, the resin is hardened with a curing light and polished for a natural finish. Most appointments take less than an hour per tooth.

How Long Does Bonding Last?

Composite bonding is durable but may require replacement after several years due to normal wear. Good oral hygiene and regular dental visits help extend the lifespan of the restoration.
