What Is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure where a tooth-colored composite resin is applied to the tooth’s surface, shaped, and hardened with a special light. It can:
- Repair chipped or cracked teeth
- Close small gaps between teeth
- Improve tooth shape and proportion
- Cover stains or discoloration resistant to teeth whitening
- Protect exposed tooth roots from gum recession
Benefits of Dental Bonding
- Fast results — often completed in a single appointment
- Minimally invasive — usually no anesthesia required
- Cost-effective compared to veneers or cosmetic crowns
- Natural-looking finish that blends with your teeth
- Customizable for your smile goals
The Dental Bonding Process
- Consultation & Color Matching
Dr. Thomas Gent evaluates your tooth and selects a resin shade that matches your natural enamel. - Surface Preparation
The tooth is gently etched to help the bonding material adhere. - Application & Shaping
The composite resin is applied, sculpted to the desired shape, and smoothed for a natural contour. - Curing
A special light hardens the resin in seconds. - Polishing
The bonded area is polished to match the sheen of your surrounding teeth.
Caring for Bonded Teeth
To maximize the lifespan of your bonding:
- Brush twice daily and floss regularly
- Avoid biting hard foods or objects with bonded teeth
- Limit staining foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine
- Schedule routine dental exams and cleanings to maintain your oral health
FAQs – Dental Bonding
How long does dental bonding last?
With proper care, bonding can last 5–10 years before needing touch-ups.
Is bonding as strong as a crown or veneer?
Bonding is durable but not as strong as porcelain restorations, making it best for small cosmetic repairs.
Does the procedure hurt?
Most patients don’t require anesthesia unless bonding is used to fill a cavity.
Can bonded teeth be whitened?
No. The resin won’t respond to whitening treatments, so whitening should be done before bonding if desired.
Is bonding reversible?
Yes. Bonding is minimally invasive and can be adjusted or replaced as needed.
Not necessarily — in many cases, it saves time and reduces the need for additional procedures.
