Discover the ideal solution for enhancing your smile with our top-notch dental bonding services.
Dental bonding describes the process of applying composite resin material on the surface of the enamel to hide dental imperfections or fill minor cavities on the teeth. Dentists use a color chart to find composite resin material that closely matches your tooth’s color. Dentists recommend treatment for hiding discoloration, cracks, and reducing gaps between teeth.

The most significant benefit of dental bonding is improving your smile’s appearance, by hiding imperfections like chips, cracks, and minor cavities. The bonding material mimics your tooth’s natural color, giving you beautiful teeth that look and feel natural.
Dental bonding is also relatively affordable compared to other cosmetic dental procedures. The composite resin material used in the procedure is inexpensive. It’s an excellent treatment option for patients on a tight budget.
The procedure is also ideal for patients with dental anxiety and phobia since it’s completely non-invasive. The process doesn’t involve needles, incisions, or other invasive procedures. The dentist will simply apply the composite resin material on the affected regions to complete treatment.
Like other dental procedures, dental bonding starts with a consultation with your preferred dentist. The consultation determines your viability for treatment and the necessity of the dental procedure. If deemed necessary, your dentist will create a treatment plan with details of the procedure, and will further educate you on the treatment.
The dentist will prepare your tooth by applying a mild etching solution on the surface. Doing so creates microscopic ridges that help the bonding material adhere better. The dentist will then apply the composite resin material directly to the teeth one layer after the next. They’ll then mold and shape the bonding material to satisfaction.
After molding the resin to the desired shape, the dentist will shine ultraviolet light on it to harden it. Once hardened, they’ll use various instruments to sculpt and shape it to match your tooth’s natural contours. Before moving to the next step, they’ll also trim the excess material.
The last step involves the dentist inspecting the bonded tooth, ensuring it matches seamlessly with the rest. They might also register your bite and ask how comfortable you are with your bonded tooth. If everything checks out, the dentist will release you with instructions for ensuring the longevity of your bonded teeth and preserving your dental health.
Dental bonding is primarily a cosmetic procedure for improving the teeth's appearance. However, dentists could also use it to address minor cavities, but not moderate or severe cases of dental decay. Bonding material applied to regions with minor cavities stops the decay from spreading to the rest of the teeth.
