Cosmetic Tooth Bonding
Using the same material we use for tooth-colored fillings, cosmetic bonding allows us to fill small imperfections in teeth, oftentimes in a single appointment. Once we customize and color-match the bonding material, then carefully mold and shape it to your tooth, we will harden it instantly using a special curing light. There are few cosmetic treatments as quick and affordable as cosmetic-direct bonding, making it a great option as a single treatment or part of a smile makeover.
Cosmetic Tooth Bonding
What is Cosmetic Bonding?
Dental bonding uses a composite, tooth-colored resin, which your dentist custom-matches to the shade of your natural teeth or the shade you desire. The composite resin is applied and shaped directly on the tooth, then cured with a special light that helps it bond with your tooth and makes it more durable.

The Procedure
The entire cosmetic bonding procedure is quite quick (typically 30 minutes or less per tooth), and virtually painless. It usually doesn’t require any removal of tooth enamel, and most patients don’t require any anesthesia. Cosmetic bonding is a simple, low-cost alternative to other more extensive cosmetic dental procedures like porcelain veneers or aesthetic crowns.
