Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is a versatile solution to repair and enhance teeth that are chipped, cracked, discolored, or slightly misaligned. It’s an effective alternative to veneers for improving your smile.

Cosmetic and Restorative Solutions with Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is a straightforward procedure designed to restore or improve the appearance of your teeth. Often used for cosmetic purposes, it’s an excellent option for fixing chipped teeth, closing small gaps, or replacing traditional fillings.

The process begins with lightly etching the tooth’s surface, followed by the application of a bonding liquid. Once the liquid sets, we carefully apply and shape a tooth-colored resin to match the natural contours of your tooth. After the resin hardens, we polish it to create a smooth, natural finish, giving you a seamless, beautiful smile.

  • How long does dental bonding last?

    With proper care, dental bonding can last up to 10 years. To maintain its longevity, avoid chewing on hard objects like ice or hard candy, as these can damage the resin. If bonding is applied to a biting surface, it may wear down faster, especially for those who grind their teeth.

  • Can bonding fix a chipped tooth?

    Yes, dental bonding is one of the most effective treatments for repairing chipped teeth. The bonding material seamlessly blends with your natural tooth, restoring its shape and appearance while preventing further damage.

  • Is bonding suitable for all teeth?

    Dental bonding is a great solution for most teeth but works best for minor cosmetic issues or repairs. Other restorative options may be more suitable for more extensive damage or teeth under significant pressure (like molars). Your dentist can recommend the best approach based on your needs.
