EVERYTHING ABOUT DENTAL BONDING

A fast fix for chips, gaps, and uneven edges

Dental bonding uses tooth-colored resin to repair small flaws and refresh your smile—often in one visit. It’s conservative, comfortable, and color-matched so the result blends naturally with your teeth.

How bonding works

We prep the area lightly, place and shape a shade-matched resin, cure it with light, then polish for a seamless finish. Most cases don’t require numbing.

Good fit if you want to:

Smooth chips or worn edges

Close small gaps

Cover localized discoloration

Tweak shape or length on a few teeth

When veneers or other options make more sense

For multiple concerns across several teeth—or when you want the most stain-resistant, long-term result—porcelain veneers may be better. If the tooth is heavily damaged, a crown could be the right call. We’ll review options, timelines, and costs together so you can choose confidently.

What to expect

A typical appointment runs under an hour per area. You’ll see the shape and shade as we go, and you’ll leave with an instantly improved smile.

Durability & care

Bonding is strong, but it’s not as stain-resistant or long-lasting as porcelain. Brush and floss daily, keep routine cleanings, and avoid chewing ice or biting pens. If you clench or grind, a night guard helps protect the work.

Costs & financing

We’ll provide a clear estimate before treatment. Cosmetic bonding is often elective; flexible financing is available through CareCredit® and LendingClub®.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We’ve got answers. If you can not find the answer you're looking for please reach out to us, we will gladly provide you with the answers you need.

Will it look natural?

Yes. We shade-match the resin and polish it so it blends with the surrounding enamel.

Does bonding hurt?

Usually no. Most small bonding cases don’t require numbing. If we’re close to a sensitive area, we’ll keep you comfortable.

How long does bonding last?

With good care, 3–7 years is common. Longevity depends on the size/location of the repair and your habits.

Will it stain?

Resin can pick up stains over time (coffee, tea, wine). Regular cleanings and good home care help; we can repolish or refresh if needed.

Can it fix a chipped front tooth?

Yes—bonding is ideal for small front-tooth chips, worn edges, and tiny gaps.

Bonding vs. veneers—how do I choose?

Choose bonding for a few small tweaks in one visit. Choose veneers for multiple changes (color + shape + symmetry) with the most stain-resistant, long-term result.

Fix chips and gaps—fast, natural, done.

Most bonding cases take a single visit with little to no numbing. Walk out smiling with a seamless result.
