The Bonding Process
Many patients come to us seeking a small change in the appearance of their teeth, such as fixing a minor chip, closing small spaces between teeth or otherwise improving the color or shape of their teeth. Cosmetic bonding is a simple and affordable treatment option for enhancing the aesthetic appearance of your smile!
What is Cosmetic Bonding?
Cosmetic bonding involves the use of a durable tooth-colored resin, which we custom-match to the shade of your teeth or the shade desired. It is applied and shaped to the tooth, then cured with a special light that helps it bond with your tooth, making it more durable. The result is a natural-looking, reshaped tooth, all completed in one easy visit. The procedure generally involves no pain or anesthesia, typically does not require any removal of tooth enamel, and is a simple, low-cost alternative to other more extensive cosmetic procedures such as porcelain veneers.
