Break the ice with your smile: Bond better with Dental Bonding

What is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding involves applying a tooth-colored composite resin to improve the appearance and function of your teeth. This treatment is ideal for addressing both cosmetic concerns and minor oral health issues.

Dental bonding can effectively treat:

Chipped or cracked teeth
Tooth decay and cavities
Small gaps between teeth
Teeth that appear short or worn
Teeth that appear short or worn
Exposed tooth roots due to receding gums

Looking for a quick and cost-effective way to improve your smile?
Dental bonding may be a solution.

Types of Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is a versatile cosmetic and restorative procedure that enhances both the function and aesthetics of teeth. There are two main types of dental bonding: direct bonding and indirect bonding.

Direct Composite Bonding

This is the most common type of dental bonding, where a tooth-colored composite resin is applied directly to the tooth’s surface. It is sculpted, hardened with a special curing light, and polished to blend seamlessly with the natural tooth.

Best for:

Repairing chipped, cracked, or decayed teeth
Closing small gaps between teeth
Reshaping or lengthening teeth
Protecting exposed tooth roots from gum recession

Adhesive Bonding

Adhesive bonding is typically used for more complex restorations, such as attaching veneers, crowns, inlays, or onlays to the tooth. It involves applying a bonding agent to the tooth, then securing the restoration with a strong dental adhesive.

Best for:

Securing porcelain veneers or crowns
Restoring teeth with inlays or onlays
Bonding orthodontic brackets (braces)

Frequently Asked Questions

Dental bonding typically lasts 3 to 10 years, depending on factors such as oral hygiene, diet, and bite pressure. Regular dental check-ups and avoiding habits like biting nails or chewing on hard objects can help extend its lifespan.
No, dental bonding is a virtually painless procedure. Since it requires minimal enamel removal, anesthesia is usually not needed—except when used to fill cavities.
No, bonded resin does not respond to teeth whitening treatments like natural enamel. If your bonded teeth become discolored over time, replacement or polishing may be necessary. To maintain a bright smile, consider whitening your natural teeth before getting bonding.

To prolong the life of your bonding, follow these tips:

  • Brush and floss regularly
  • Avoid biting hard foods or objects (like ice or pens)
  • Limit consumption of stain-causing foods and drinks (coffee, red wine, etc.)
  • Visit your dentist for regular check-ups and cleanings
Bonding is a more affordable and non-invasive alternative to veneers. However, veneers are more durable and stain-resistant, making them a better long-term solution for smile makeovers. Your dentist can help determine the best option based on your goals and budget.
