Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is an excellent alternative to dental veneers for restoring teeth that are cracked, chipped, discolored, or misaligned. This versatile treatment can enhance your smile effectively and affordably.
What is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure used to repair or enhance the appearance of a tooth. It is commonly used to cover chipped teeth but can also serve as an alternative to fillings or to close gaps between teeth.
During the dental bonding process, we start by lightly etching the surface of the tooth to prepare it. Next, a bonding liquid is applied and allowed to set. We then apply a plastic resin, sculpting it to the desired shape of the tooth. Once the resin hardens, we trim, smooth, and polish the bonded tooth to achieve a natural and aesthetically pleasing result.

How much does dental bonding cost?
The cost of dental bonding varies depending on the extent of the treatment and the specific needs of the patient. Your dentist can provide a detailed estimate during your consultation, considering your individual treatment plan.

How long does dental bonding last?
Dental bonding typically lasts between 3 to 10 years, depending on factors such as the location of the bonded tooth and your oral habits. Good oral hygiene practices, avoiding hard foods, and not using your teeth as tools can help extend the life of the bonding. Regular dental check-ups will ensure that your bonded teeth remain in good condition.
