Tooth-colored resin can repair chips, close small gaps and reshape teeth — often in a single visit, with little or no removal of natural tooth.
Cosmetic Bonding
Bonding uses the same composite resin as tooth-colored fillings. We shade it to match your teeth, sculpt it into shape, and harden it with a light.
It’s one of the most affordable cosmetic options and a great choice for minor imperfections on teeth that are otherwise healthy.
What to expect
We select a resin color that blends with your teeth.
The surface is lightly roughened to help it bond.
Resin is applied, shaped and hardened.
We refine the shape and polish to a natural shine.
Questions
Bonding can last several years. Avoiding biting nails, pens or ice helps it last longer.
Resin can pick up stains over time, especially from coffee, tea or tobacco. Regular cleanings help keep it bright.
Bonding is great for small fixes. Veneers are more durable and stain-resistant for larger changes. We’ll help you compare.
