What Is Cosmetic Bonding for Teeth?
Dental bonding is a simple, effective cosmetic dentistry procedure that uses a tooth-colored material to fill in gaps between your teeth and make your smile look brighter, whiter, and more even. We can use cosmetic bonding to repair minor chips and cracks, fill in gaps between teeth, or change the shape and color of your teeth so that your smile looks more symmetrical and even. Cosmetic bonding uses a composite resin material that is durable, natural-looking, and easy to care for.
Why Should I Consider Cosmetic Dental Bonding?
Like other methods of cosmetic dentistry, bonding can improve the appearance of your smile and address minor imperfections and concerns. You might consider cosmetic dental bonding if you feel self-conscious about the appearance of your teeth or avoid smiling because of issues like:
- Small chips or minor cracks in your teeth
- Stains or discoloration
- Gray tooth
- Minor gaps between your teeth
- Small or irregularly shaped teeth
- Teeth that are misshapen or asymmetrical
- Short teeth
Cosmetic Bonding Preparation & Procedure
Before we begin your cosmetic bonding procedure, we will do a full dental exam to assess the health and condition of your teeth and gums and determine if you are a good candidate. We will remove any plaque or tartar buildup from your teeth and remove a small amount of dental enamel. We will help you select a shade for your composite resin material and then apply the material and mold and smooth it to the desired shape. We will use a special light to harden and cure the material so that it bonds to the surface of your teeth. Then, we will clean and polish your teeth and make sure they look natural. The procedure can take 30-60 minutes per tooth. You can return to your normal routine immediately, without pain, discomfort, or recovery time.
How Does Cosmetic Composite Bonding Work?
Dental bonding is used to cover up minor imperfections on your teeth without requiring extensive dental restoration or a major procedure. We use composite resin to offer long-term repair for minor imperfections that could be causing issues with your confidence or self-esteem.
How Long Does Cosmetic Teeth Bonding Last?
The lifespan of your dental bonding procedure depends on how well you care for your teeth afterward and your age, health, and lifestyle. In general, dental bonding can last between 3-10 years. Factors that can affect the lifespan of your dental bonding procedure are:
- Your overall health.
- Health conditions that affect the health of your teeth and gums.
- Medications you take that could affect the health of your teeth and gums.
- Whether you maintain proper oral hygiene.
- Whether you visit us regularly for check-ups, dental exams, and dental cleanings.
- Your lifestyle and whether you smoke or use tobacco products, drink a lot of alcohol, or take recreational drugs.
- Whether your teeth and gums are injured or sustain trauma.
Benefits of Tooth-Colored Cosmetic Bonding

- It is a minimally invasive procedure and a great alternative to more invasive restorative dentistry procedures.
- It is cost-effective and affordable.
- The results are immediate and can last a long time with proper care.
- Dental bonding is versatile and highly customizable and can address a wide range of cosmetic imperfections.

How to Care for Bonded
Teeth
It is important to maintain a consistent daily oral hygiene routine to protect your teeth from damage and decay. If you properly care for your teeth, your bonding will last longer and look better, and you will lower your risk of oral health issues. We recommend brushing your teeth twice per day, flossing at least once per day, and visiting us once or twice per year for a dental exam and teeth cleaning.
