Cosmetic bonding is a procedure where your dentist uses composite resin to reshape or repair your smile. This treatment is especially helpful if you feel self-conscious about your teeth or want a cost-effective solution compared to more invasive options like orthodontics or veneers. With bonding, issues like chipped or uneven teeth can be fixed quickly and affordably, often restoring your confidence in just one visit—usually without the need for anesthetic!
Like other cosmetic treatments, bonding can stain or wear down over time and will eventually need to be replaced. The good news is that bonding is quite durable and can maintain your smile for many years before any touch-ups are needed.
Why Consider Cosmetic Bonding?
- Closing gaps between teeth
- Repairing chipped or cracked teeth
- Treating cavities with a natural-looking solution
- Lengthening teeth that appear short or uneven
- Protecting roots exposed by gum recession
- Restoring teeth that are severely discolored
What Happens During Dental Bonding?
First, our dentist will isolate the teeth being treated and carefully prepare them for bonding by applying an etching solution. This conditioning liquid creates tiny grooves on the tooth surface, which help the bonding material adhere more securely.
Next, our team applies a special bonding resin to help secure the composite material in place. Tooth-colored composite is built up in several thin layers, each precisely shaped to match your natural teeth. After each layer, a focused light is used to harden and set the material. Once the final shape is achieved, the bonded areas are smoothed, buffed, and polished so they blend seamlessly with your smile.
