The resin is skillfully applied, shaped and hardened with a special light to create a strong, natural-looking finish—all in a single visit. Bonding offers immediate results with no recovery time, making it an ideal option for patients seeking a quick, affordable way to enhance their smile. Benefits include a natural appearance, no need for anesthesia and a cost-effective alternative to veneers or crowns.

Process
Consultation: You’ll meet with our dental team to go over your smile goals. We’ll evaluate your teeth to see if dental bonding is the right fit for your needs.
Preparation: The tooth’s surface is gently roughened, and a conditioning liquid is applied to help the resin adhere securely.
Application: A tooth-colored composite resin is applied, shaped and sculpted to enhance the appearance of your tooth.
Curing: We use a special light to harden the resin, creating a strong and lasting bond.
Final Adjustments: After curing, the bonded area is refined and polished to match your natural teeth, giving you a smooth, flawless finish.

What are the disadvantages to dental bonding?
Dental bonding is less durable than crowns or veneers and may chip or stain over time, especially if you frequently consume staining foods or bite hard objects. It may also need touch-ups or replacement sooner than other cosmetic options.
-
Can dental bonding straighten teeth?
Dental bonding can improve the appearance of slightly crooked or uneven teeth by reshaping them, but it won’t physically move teeth like braces or Invisalign®. It’s best for minor cosmetic corrections.
