Dental Bonding Q&A
What is dental bonding?
Dental bonding is a cosmetic treatment that uses a tooth-colored composite resin to repair minor imperfections and improve your smile’s overall appearance. It’s one of the quickest and most cost-effective ways to correct small flaws such as chips, cracks, stains, or uneven edges.
During the procedure, Dr. George applies a composite material that matches your natural tooth color. The resin is carefully shaped and smoothed to achieve a natural look, then hardened using a special curing light. Once the resin is set, the bonded area is polished to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth, restoring your smile’s strength and symmetry.
What issues can dental bonding correct?
Dental bonding can address a variety of cosmetic and structural issues, including:
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Small gaps or spaces between teeth
- Uneven or misshapen teeth
- Discoloration or staining
- Teeth that appear too short or worn
It’s a versatile treatment that not only improves your smile’s aesthetics but also helps protect teeth from further damage by restoring their structure.
What can you expect during the procedure?
Dental bonding is a quick, comfortable process that usually takes about 30–60 minutes per tooth. Most patients don’t need anesthesia unless the bonding is used to fill a cavity or repair a chipped area near a nerve.
Dr. George begins by lightly etching the surface of the tooth to help the bonding material adhere properly. After applying the resin, he shapes it to the desired contour and uses a curing light to harden it. Once hardened, the bonded tooth is polished until it matches the natural shine of your enamel.
How long does dental bonding last?
With proper care, dental bonding can last between 5 and 10 years. Avoiding habits like nail-biting, chewing on pens, or using your teeth to open packages can help extend its lifespan. Regular dental visits and good oral hygiene are essential to keeping your bonded teeth in excellent condition.
