What is Bonding and How Does it Work?

Bonding is an alternative to veneers and can be used as a restorative procedure for teeth that are chipped, cracked, discolored, or misarranged. Bonding can be a great way to improve your smile.

The dentist will prepare your tooth for the procedure by lightly etching the surface and applying a bonding liquid. Once the liquid sets, we’ll apply a plastic resin and sculpt it into the desired shape. Once set, the dentist trims the resin, then smooths and polishes it to a natural appearance, giving you a new and improved smile!

Things to Consider

The bonding procedure can often be completed in a single office visit and can improve the appearance of a tooth significantly. However, since the plastic resin used is not as strong as your natural tooth enamel, it is more likely to stain, chip, or break than natural teeth. Bonding typically lasts three to five years before you’ll need repair.
