Perfect Your Smile with Cosmetic Bonding & Contouring
If you have chipped, broken teeth, or gaps you want to close, cosmetic bonding and contouring could be a great option to restore your teeth. This procedure uses composite resin material that is matched to your teeth and sculpted by the dentist. Once shaped, a curing light hardens the material so it can be trimmed and polished. Cosmetic bonding can repair teeth or enhance your smile by closing spaces or enlarging undersized teeth.
Compared to veneers or crowns, bonding is a more conservative and cost-effective option because it often doesn't require reducing tooth structure. This procedure can be done in just one dental visit and typically doesn't require anesthesia unless tooth preparation or decay removal is necessary. Additionally, cosmetic bonding can be used as a temporary solution to test out changes in your smile before committing to more permanent options like traditional veneers or porcelain crowns.

What is the Dental Bonding Procedure?
To begin the dental bonding process, we will first match the color of your teeth with the composite material to be used. Then, we will gently file and roughen the surface of the tooth where the material will be applied. A bonding gel will be carefully applied and rinsed off before the composite material is placed over the tooth and smoothed out. Using a bright light, we will cure the composite to ensure its stability. Any necessary adjustments will be made before you leave our office. Dental bonding can completely transform your smile, seamlessly blending in for a natural look. If you are interested in dental bonding, please contact us today with any questions you may have.
