The Dental Bonding Process
Color Matching
We use a comprehensive color guide that includes a wide range of shades to carefully select the precise match for the composite resin, guaranteeing a seamless and natural blending with your existing teeth.
Preparing the Tooth
The process starts with roughening the tooth enamel, which creates a rough surface that improves the adhesion of the composite resin.
Applying the Resin
A liquid is applied to the teeth to enable the material to stick. We then apply the composite resin, shaping it to match your natural tooth contours.
Curing and Polishing
An ultraviolet light is used to harden the material. Finally, we give the composite resin final touch-ups and polish it to a natural shine.
FAQs

Bonding does not have any serious risks. However, the composite resin is not as strong as natural teeth and can chip or break. Avoid chewing on hard objects like ice, pens, or fingernails to prevent damage.
While bonding is a great solution for many cosmetic issues, the material is more prone to chipping or breaking than natural teeth or other solutions like veneers or crowns. The composite resin can stain and cannot be whitened, making it less ideal for larger cosmetic corrections.
Dental bonding offers several benefits, including a variety of composite resin shades for a natural look, a non-invasive procedure with no need for local anesthetic, and preservation of most of your natural tooth structure. It's also one of the most affordable cosmetic treatments available.
With proper care, dental bonding can last several years. However, its longevity depends on your oral hygiene and habits. Avoiding foods and drinks that stain teeth, and not using your teeth as tools, can help maintain the results.
