Effectively Conceal Cosmetic Concerns 

Is Bonding Right for You?

You may be an excellent candidate for this procedure if you have:

• Small gaps between teeth
• Discoloration or stains that do not respond to teeth whitening
• Chipped or small breaks in teeth
• Teeth with worn edges
• Disproportionate teeth

If you are unsure about receiving porcelain veneers, dental bonding is a great alternative. This procedure can achieve similar results while still being reversible. Often, many patients find that dental bonding helps them understand achievable results when deciding if veneers are the right procedure for them in the future. 

The Dental Bonding Procedure

Once you are happy with your treatment plan, your dentist will begin the procedure. Depending on how many teeth are being treated, the procedure can generally be completed in under an hour without the need for anesthesia. 

Tooth and Resin Preparation

We will first thoroughly clean and dry your teeth, and may also apply a priming solution to each tooth being treated so the composite resin can more effectively bond. Using a shade guide, your dentist will color-match the resin to your smile.

Bonding Application

After the resin is prepared, we will carefully apply and shape the material over your tooth. Our doctors will use artistic techniques to achieve the best results possible.

Hardening the Resin

Once the proper shape is achieved, we will use a curing light to harden the resin.

Final Adjustments

Our team will check your bite to ensure that the resin does not prevent proper occlusion. If necessary, we can remove and smooth any excess material. Once complete, we will polish the tooth for a highly realistic shine and texture.

Maintaining Your Results

Caring for your newly bonded smile requires the same approach to caring for your natural teeth, such as:

• Brushing your teeth at least twice a day or after every meal
• Flossing daily
• Visiting our team for regular checkups
• Avoiding chewing on ice and hard candies
• Avoiding biting your nails

Following these healthy habits can help you maintain dental bonding results for five to seven years.
