Evaluate the tooth
We make sure bonding is suitable for the size of the defect, your bite, and the condition of the tooth.
Cosmetic dentistry
Cosmetic Dental Bonding
Dental bonding uses tooth-colored composite to reshape or repair selected areas of a tooth with a conservative approach.
What to know
Start with a clear diagnosis and a conversation.
Bonding can be a useful option for small chips, gaps, uneven edges, and other limited cosmetic concerns. Because composite is added directly to the tooth, treatment can often be completed without the same preparation required for a veneer or crown.
What to expect
A straightforward path from concern to next step.
Shape the composite
Tooth-colored material is placed directly on the tooth and sculpted to the desired shape.
Finish and polish
The restoration is refined and polished so it blends naturally with the surrounding tooth.
Common questions
Questions about cosmetic bonding?
We can answer questions about your specific situation after an exam.
Is bonding the same as a veneer?
No. Bonding generally uses composite placed directly on the tooth, while a veneer is a separately fabricated restoration that covers the front surface of the tooth.
Can bonding stain or chip?
Yes. Composite can wear, stain, or chip over time. The lifespan depends on the location, bite forces, habits, and care.
