Unlike veneers or crowns, bonding requires minimal tooth preparation and can be completed in a single visit. It’s an affordable way to enhance your smile with natural-looking results.
01.
Process
Comprehensive Evaluation: We begin with an examination of your teeth to determine if dental bonding is the best option for improving the appearance of chips, cracks, discoloration, or gaps.
Tooth Preparation: The tooth’s surface is lightly etched, and a conditioning liquid is applied to help the bonding material adhere securely. No local anesthesia is typically needed unless bonding is used to fill a cavity.
Application of Composite Resin: A tooth-colored composite resin is carefully applied, shaped, and sculpted to match the natural contours of your tooth for a seamless appearance.
Hardening and Polishing: The resin is hardened using a special curing light, then further shaped and polished to blend perfectly with your surrounding teeth.

Next Steps

Follow-Up: Regular dental checkups will help ensure the bonding remains in excellent condition.
