Aesthetic Bonding

Bonding is a painless procedure that applies a material or composite resin to unsightly or injured teeth. The composite resin creates a natural-looking color, which enhances a discolored and stained tooth. Bonding repairs chipped or misshapen teeth, restores tooth loss and fills gaps. Old silver fillings can be replaced with bonding. Performed in one office visit, dental bonding can dramatically improve the appearance of your smile.

Bonding Process

Bonding a tooth is a minimally invasive and inexpensive procedure that typically doesn't require anesthesia.

If there is prevalent decay or pulp exposure, bonding may require a more complex procedure or another suitable treatment option. As we bond your tooth, we will:

• Apply composite resin to the tooth.
• Sculpt the resin to fit the tooth's shape and size.
• Harden the resin with a high-intensity curing light.
• Polish the tooth's surface for a smooth and natural feel.

The result will be a natural-looking tooth with a durable and stain-resistant finish. Post-procedural care requires proper oral hygiene including twice-a-day brushing and flossing.

Schedule regular dental visits for routine cleanings and checkups on dental work and health.
