Dental Bonding

Dental bonding improves the appearance of your smile by covering gaps, stains, cracks, and uneven teeth. It utilizes shade-matched, tooth-colored materials and can last for about ten years. Dental bonding suits older teens and adults who need minor dental work and prefer a non-invasive option. The procedure typically takes around half an hour and involves applying a bonding agent and composite resin, which is then shaped and hardened with a specialized light. Bonded teeth can be cared for through regular brushing and flossing.

Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure where a tooth-colored resin material is applied and hardened with a special light. This material bonds to the tooth to repair chips, cracks, or gaps and to improve the overall appearance.

Dental bonding typically lasts 3 to 10 years, depending on the location of the bonded tooth, the patient’s oral habits, and the material’s durability.

The procedure is generally painless and often does not require anesthesia. It is a quick and minimally invasive process, usually completed in one visit.
