Dental Bonding
A tooth-colored resin applied and sculpted directly onto teeth to repair chips, gaps, and minor imperfections.
What is it
A cosmetic procedure in which tooth-colored composite resin is applied and shaped directly onto a tooth to repair chips, cracks, gaps, or discoloration in a single visit.
How it works
The tooth surface is lightly etched, a bonding agent is applied, and tooth-colored composite resin is layered on and sculpted by hand, then hardened with a curing light and polished to a natural finish.
How it helps
Restores the appearance of chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth in a single visit, improving smile aesthetics without the need for more invasive procedures.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who might consider this treatment?
Patients with chipped, cracked, gapped, or discolored teeth who want a fast, affordable cosmetic fix without more invasive procedures.
What is the typical experience?
Resin is applied, shaped, and hardened in a single visit with no numbing required in most cases. The result is visible immediately and blends naturally with surrounding teeth.
How long does it usually take?
Bonding is completed in a single visit that typically takes thirty to sixty minutes per tooth. Results are immediate and no recovery time is needed.
Is there anything to keep in mind?
Bonding is less resistant to staining and chipping than porcelain, so avoiding coffee, tea, red wine, and hard foods helps extend its lifespan. With good care, bonding typically lasts several years before any touch-up may be needed.
What should I know about recovery after?
No recovery is needed after the evaluation or guard fitting. Bonding or other restorative repairs done as part of treatment may cause mild sensitivity for a day or two.
