Is Bonding Right for You?
It’s best to talk to our dentists near you to find the right cosmetic dental procedure for your needs. Depending on your specific situation, there may be a different treatment that’s better for your needs. Our dentists can examine your teeth and talk to you about the ways you can improve your smile.
How Does the Bonding Process Work?
Bonding is a fast and pain-free procedure that can be done in about an hour. Anesthetic isn’t used in most cases.
Our dentists use a composite resin that’s custom matched to your natural teeth. This will ensure the treatment doesn’t look fake on your teeth.
First, our dentists will roughen the surface of your teeth, which helps the bonding material adhere to your teeth. Then, our dentists will shape the resin onto your teeth. Your teeth will be polished and cleaned before you leave our office.
If you have additional questions or concerns about bonding, our dentists can help. We want you to feel comfortable with the procedure, so we can help you feel at ease.
How Long Does Bonding Last?
Bonding isn’t a permanent solution, but it can last 4 to 8 years. If you are looking for a permanent solution, you can talk to our dentists about a different option.
There are ways to ensure your bonding lasts as long as possible. You should maintain good oral hygiene habits, including brushing and flossing your teeth twice daily. Another way to keep your bonding in good shape is avoiding biting into hard foods.
Our dentists will give you information on maintaining bonding so you can make it last.

FAQs
What is dental bonding used for?
Dental bonding is an effective cosmetic treatment used to enhance and improve the visible appearance of teeth with minor chips, gaps, discoloration, or uneven edges. A tooth-colored material is shaped and hardened to blend naturally with your smile.
How long does dental bonding last?
Dental bonding may last several years with proper care. Its lifespan depends on habits like biting hard objects, oral hygiene, and regular dental visits. Your dentist can advise when touch-ups or replacement may be needed.
Does dental bonding look natural?
Yes, dental bonding is designed to match the color and shape of your natural teeth. Dentists carefully sculpt the material so it blends smoothly, creating a natural-looking improvement rather than an obvious cosmetic change.
Is dental bonding painful?
Dental bonding is usually comfortable and does not require anesthesia unless the tooth needs preparation. Most patients feel little to no discomfort during the procedure and can go back to regular activities immediately afterward.
Can dental bonding stain over time?
Bonding material can stain over time, especially with frequent exposure to coffee, tea, or smoking. Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular cleanings helps keep bonded teeth looking their best longer.
Is dental bonding reversible?
Dental bonding is considered a conservative treatment, but it may involve slight surface preparation. While the bonding material can be easily removed or replaced, your dentist will discuss long-term expectations before treatment.
Can dental bonding fix bite problems?
Dental bonding is mainly cosmetic and works best for surface-level concerns. It is not designed to correct major bite or alignment issues, which may require orthodontic or restorative treatments instead.
How do I care for teeth after dental bonding?
Care for bonded teeth by brushing, flossing, and avoiding habits like nail biting or chewing ice. Regular dental checkups help ensure the bonding stays intact and your teeth remain healthy.
