Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is used to repair chips, cracks, or discoloration, close small gaps, reshape uneven teeth, or protect exposed tooth roots. It’s a cost-effective cosmetic solution offering instant results, often in a single appointment, with no major downtime or surgical preparation.

While bonding is durable, it’s not permanent. It typically lasts 3–10 years depending on care, location on the tooth, and lifestyle habits. Regular dental checkups and avoiding habits like biting hard objects help extend its lifespan.

Most bonding treatments take 30 to 60 minutes per tooth. Because it’s minimally invasive, multiple teeth can often be treated in one visit. The process includes shaping the resin and curing it with a special light.

Absolutely. The resin material is shade-matched to your natural teeth and sculpted for a seamless blend. Once polished, bonded teeth are virtually indistinguishable from the surrounding enamel.

Dental bonding offers a fast, affordable, and conservative option for minor aesthetic improvements. It requires little to no enamel removal and can be done in one sitting—making it ideal for many cosmetic goals.
