Dental bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure that uses a composite material to repair small cosmetic dental issues. The bonding material can be matched to the shade of your natural teeth, making it look very natural. It’s ideal for repairing minor cracks and chips in the teeth and gaps in between the teeth. The bonding material can also be used to fill cavities in addition to being used as an aesthetic dental enhancement.

Is dental bonding right for me?
Dental bonding is a cosmetic solution used to address dental imperfections. If your teeth are stained, chipped, or damaged, dental bonding can help. Dental bonding can also be used to close gaps between teeth.
Dental bonding can address several types of common dental imperfections. To determine if dental bonding is right for you, call your cosmetic dental expert for an evaluation.
What happens during dental bonding?
First, we’ll clean your teeth. Then, we’ll roughen the surface of your tooth with a mild etching solution. This allows the composite resin to bond to your tooth. Then, we apply an adhesive and resin to your tooth. The resin is molded and smoothed so that it matches your tooth’s shape. We harden it with a curing light. Then, we polish it, so it feels comfortable and matches your tooth color.
