Dental bonding is a quick and cost-effective solution for fixing minor tooth imperfections like chips, cracks, stains, or uneven edges. Using a tooth-colored resin, your dentist can restore the appearance of your smile in just one visit—no need for complex procedures. The material blends seamlessly with your natural teeth for a smooth, natural look.

If you're seeking an affordable, non-invasive way to enhance your smile, dental bonding is a safe and efficient option for small cosmetic improvements.

Fix Minor Flaws with Dental Bonding

What Happens During the Procedure?

Dental bonding is a simple and comfortable procedure. It begins by lightly roughening the tooth’s surface to help the bonding material adhere properly. A conditioning liquid is applied to prepare the area.

Then, a tooth-colored resin is placed and sculpted to blend seamlessly with your natural tooth shape. Once it’s perfectly shaped, a special light hardens the material. Finally, the bonded area is polished to ensure it looks and feels just like your natural teeth.

Things to Know About Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is typically completed in a single visit and rarely requires anesthesia unless it’s used to treat a cavity. While it’s an excellent option for minor cosmetic improvements, the bonding material isn’t as durable as natural teeth or porcelain veneers.

With proper care, bonding can last 3 to 5 years. To extend its lifespan, avoid biting hard objects and maintain good oral hygiene. If the bonding wears down or chips, it can easily be repaired or refreshed.
