Restore Your Smile with Dental Bonding

​

Chipped, cracked, discolored, or slightly misaligned teeth can impact both the look and confidence of your smile. Fortunately, dental bonding offers a quick, minimally invasive solution to repair and restore teeth without the need for more extensive treatments like veneers.

​

How Dental Bonding Works

​

The bonding process begins by gently preparing the tooth’s surface through light etching, followed by the application of a specialized bonding agent. Once the surface is ready, your dentist applies a tooth-colored resin material, carefully shaping it to achieve a natural, seamless appearance. After the resin is precisely sculpted, it is hardened with a curing light, then trimmed, smoothed, and polished to blend perfectly with your surrounding teeth.

​

Benefits and Things to Consider

​

• Convenience: Most bonding procedures can be completed in just one office visit.

• Aesthetic Improvement: Bonding offers an immediate enhancement to the appearance of damaged or imperfect teeth.

• Conservative Treatment: Unlike veneers or crowns, bonding preserves more of your natural tooth structure.

 

It’s important to note that the resin material, while strong, is not as durable as natural enamel. Bonded areas may be more susceptible to staining, chipping, or wear over time. Typically, dental bonding lasts between three to five years before touch-ups or repairs may be needed.
