What Is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding involves applying a tooth-colored composite resin to repair or enhance a tooth. The material is sculpted and hardened with a curing light, then polished to blend in with your natural enamel.
Bonding can correct:
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Minor gaps between teeth
- Discolored or stained teeth
- Misshapen or uneven edges
- Exposed roots from gum recession
Because it doesn’t require the removal of significant tooth structure, bonding is one of the most conservative cosmetic treatments available.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
- Consultation and Shade Matching:
We evaluate your smile and choose the perfect composite shade to match your surrounding teeth. - Tooth Preparation:
The surface is lightly roughened and conditioned for optimal bonding—no anesthesia is needed in most cases. - Application and Sculpting:
Composite resin is applied, shaped, and contoured to achieve your desired look. - Hardening and Polishing:
A curing light sets the resin, and final adjustments are made to refine shape and finish.
The entire process typically takes less than an hour per tooth, with immediate results.
Benefits of Dental Bonding
- Affordable and non-invasive
- Immediate cosmetic improvement
- Matches natural tooth color and shape
- No drilling or anesthesia in most cases
- Preserves your natural tooth structure
Bonding is often combined with teeth whitening to ensure the best shade match if you plan to brighten your smile. For longer-term or more extensive corrections, we may recommend transitioning to veneers in the future.
FAQs About Dental Bonding
How long does dental bonding last?
With proper care, bonding can last 5 to 10 years. Avoiding hard foods, grinding, and staining habits helps prolong results.
Is bonding as strong as veneers or crowns?
Bonding is ideal for small cosmetic fixes but is not as durable as porcelain restorations. It’s best for low-pressure areas like front teeth.
Can bonded teeth be whitened later?
No. Composite resin does not respond to whitening. If you’re considering whitening, it’s best to do so before bonding for optimal color match.
Is dental bonding reversible?
Yes. Because bonding involves little or no enamel removal, it’s one of the most conservative and reversible cosmetic treatments.
Will insurance cover dental bonding?
Bonding may be partially covered if used to repair a chipped or damaged tooth. We also offer CareCredit and Sunbit financing and savings through our Prime Smile Club.
