If there is something minor you’d like to change about your smile, you may be a good candidate for dental bonding. An even less invasive procedure than porcelain veneers or Lumineers, direct composite bonding is a great way to fix certain minor cosmetic dental issues, such as:

• A chipped or cracked tooth

• Staining or discoloration

• Minor diastema (dental gaps)

• Tooth wear

• Misshapen tooth

Also sometimes called direct composite veneers, our dental bonding can be a simple and quick fix to get your smile where you want it.

What is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding uses the same material as tooth-colored fillings and serves a similar purpose. Rather than filling a cavity in the tooth, however, we can place it onto the tooth surface and sculpt it to fix imperfections.

The procedure is simple. To apply dental bonding, the dentist does the following:

1. Preps the tooth with an acid gel that creates an etched surface for the composite to adhere to.

2. Removes the gel.

3. Applies the composite resin in stages, sculpting and curing it to the required shape at each stage.

4. Finishes and polishes the restoration for ideal texture, appearance, and longevity.
