Bonding

If you have a chipped, slightly misaligned, or otherwise imperfect tooth that needs cosmetic restoration, bonding may be a good option for you.

§ Procedure

In the practice's own words.

Cosmetic Bonding

Bonding involves adding a custom-shaded composite resin to your tooth or teeth in order to rebuild or create a more pleasing shape to your tooth.

After curing with light, the material is sculpted and polished — with results achievable in one visit. It's an economical option compared to veneers.

The 'brand-new' appearance or condition of the bonding may only last 5 to 10 years with proper care.

Bonding will not discolor as your natural tooth enamel will, so touch-up whitening may be needed over time. Marginal staining or chipping may require future polishing.

§ The practice's promise

Impeccable quality, great service. Treatment decisions come from the dentist-owner — not corporate management focused on margins.
