What Is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding is also known as direct bonding and cosmetic bonding. During the process, we mold a tooth-colored resin over the teeth. It is the same material that we use for dental fillings, so it can be shade-matched to blend in with your natural tooth enamel. We shape it so that it covers cosmetic imperfections, such as chips, cracks, severe discoloration, small gaps between the teeth, oddly shaped teeth, and more. Once it gets hardened with a special curing light, we polish it to perfection.

Bonding is a popular alternative to veneers because it offers similar initial results and has a simpler treatment process.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Bonding?

You might be a good candidate for dental bonding if:

  • You feel self-conscious about minor aesthetic imperfections in your teeth. Bonding is not usually used for total smile makeovers.
  • Your teeth are healthy enough for cosmetic treatment. If you have cavities, gum disease, or other oral health issues, they should be addressed before you move forward with any services that are purely cosmetic.
  • You want a fast and affordable way to spruce up your smile. Bonding is an easy procedure that is financially accessible for most people.

During your consultation, our team can provide a professional opinion on whether dental bonding is right for you.

The Benefits of Dental Bonding

Dental bonding offers some noteworthy benefits:

  • It is fast. It can usually be completed in a single appointment, which may last just one hour or so.
  • It is durable. With proper care, your bonding may last for several years.
  • The results look natural. Onlookers may not be able to guess that you had a bit of work done on your smile.
  • It is non-invasive. The treatment process is quite comfortable. If you wish, you can even get your bonding removed if you change your mind about it.
  • Easy maintenance. Caring for dental bonding is simple. A reasonable diet and good oral hygiene are both important!
