Dental Bonding

What is dental bonding?

Dental bonding is a quick, non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses tooth-colored composite resin to repair minor imperfections like chips, cracks, gaps, and discoloration. It’s an affordable and painless way to improve your smile in just one visit!

When is dental bonding needed? (Indications for Dental Bonding)

You may be a good candidate for bonding if you have:
✔️ Chipped or cracked teeth
✔️ Small gaps between teeth
✔️ Mild discoloration or stains that don’t respond to whitening
✔️ Slightly misshapen teeth
✔️ Exposed tooth roots due to gum recession

Bonding is a simple, painless solution to restore your smile in just one appointment!

Who should not get dental bonding? (Contraindications for Dental Bonding)

Bonding may not be the best choice if you:
❌ Have large cavities or severe tooth damage (crowns may be better)
❌ Have major gaps or misalignment (orthodontics may be needed)
❌ Grind or clench your teeth heavily (bonding material may wear down faster)
❌ Want a permanent solution (bonding lasts but may need touch-ups)

If bonding isn’t ideal, veneers or crowns might be a better option!

How does dental bonding work?

✔️ Step 1: We roughen the tooth surface and apply a conditioning liquid.
✔️ Step 2: A tooth-colored composite resin is applied and shaped.
✔️ Step 3: The material is hardened with a special light.
✔️ Step 4: The bonded area is polished to match your natural teeth.

It’s a quick, comfortable process that usually takes 30-60 minutes per tooth!

How long does dental bonding last?

With proper care, bonding can last 3-10 years before needing touch-ups or replacement. Its longevity depends on:
✔️ Oral hygiene habits
✔️ Avoiding biting on hard objects (nails, ice, pens)
✔️ Teeth grinding/clenching habits

For longer-lasting results, regular dental checkups and proper care are key!

Is dental bonding better than veneers?

Both bonding and veneers improve your smile, but they serve different needs:
✔️ Bonding: Best for minor cosmetic fixes, affordable, and non-invasive.
✔️ Veneers: More durable, stain-resistant, and ideal for a full smile makeover.

If you’re looking for a quick, cost-effective fix, bonding is great! For longer-lasting, dramatic results, veneers may be better.

Can dental bonding fix gaps between teeth?

Yes! Bonding is a simple way to close small gaps between teeth without the need for braces or veneers. The composite material is shaped and smoothed to blend seamlessly, giving you an even, natural-looking smile!

Does bonding stain or change color over time?

Yes, composite bonding can stain over time, especially if you frequently consume coffee, tea, red wine, or tobacco. Unlike natural enamel, bonded material doesn’t respond to whitening treatments, so it’s important to:
✔️ Limit stain-causing foods and drinks
✔️ Brush and floss daily
✔️ Schedule regular cleanings

How much does dental bonding cost?

The cost of dental bonding depends on the size of the area being treated, but typically:
✔️ Per tooth: $250 - $600
✔️ More complex cases: Up to $1,000 per tooth

Since bonding is a cosmetic treatment, most insurance plans don’t cover it, but we offer flexible payment options to make it affordable.

Does dental bonding hurt?

Nope! Dental bonding is pain-free and doesn’t require anesthesia unless it’s being used to fill a cavity. It’s one of the easiest, most comfortable ways to enhance your smile!
