What is Cosmetic Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding can be an incredibly effective way to address many similar issues as veneers, but is usually a more cost-effective and convenient option. For this procedure, our team will apply color-matched, putty-like composite resin directly to your enamel in layers to mend or mask one or more aesthetic imperfections. Then, we expose it to an ultraviolet curing light, which causes the material to harden and bond with the protective outer layer of your teeth for seamless, long-lasting results.

This can be an ideal way to address a variety of concerns, such as stubborn stains, chips, cracks, mild gaps, or worn-down or stunted teeth.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Cosmetic Dental Bonding?

Potentially, anyone unhappy with the way their teeth appear might benefit from this treatment, but that doesn’t mean it’s the best way to meet every patient’s unique needs. You’ll need to consult one of our providers before proceeding so they can discuss your goals and examine your mouth to determine whether you’re a good candidate.

For example, you must have sufficiently healthy enamel for the material to bond successfully. That means if we find any problem areas that might interfere with the outcome, such as tooth decay or periodontal disease, we’ll need to treat them before continuing with this elective service.
