What bonding can fix

Bonding is a good choice for small cosmetic and functional repairs. It can fix chipped or cracked teeth, close small gaps between teeth, and lengthen teeth that are short or worn. It can also improve teeth that are slightly misshapen and cover stains that don't respond to whitening. Bonding can protect a root that is exposed by receding gums, too. Because little or no enamel needs to be removed, it's one of the most conservative cosmetic treatments available.

How the procedure works

We start by choosing a shade that matches your natural teeth. The tooth surface is gently roughened and conditioned so the resin can bond securely. Then we apply the resin in layers, sculpting it by hand into the right shape and hardening each layer with a curing light. Finally, we polish it to a natural shine. Most teeth take about 30 to 60 minutes, and numbing is usually unnecessary unless bonding is used to fill a cavity.

Bonding vs. veneers

Bonding and porcelain veneers can address many of the same concerns. Bonding is done in one visit, keeps more of your natural tooth, and is easy to repair, but the resin can stain and chip more easily over time. Porcelain veneers take more visits and usually require removing some enamel. In exchange, they resist stains and generally last longer. For one small chip, bonding is often ideal. For larger changes across many teeth, veneers may be the better fit.

Frequently asked questions

Bonding typically lasts about 3 to 10 years, depending on where it is, your bite, and your habits. Avoid biting nails, chewing ice, or using teeth as tools, and wear a night guard if you grind. Worn or chipped bonding can usually be touched up or replaced easily.
Composite resin can pick up stains over time from coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco, more than natural enamel or porcelain. Brushing after dark drinks and keeping up with regular cleanings helps. Whitening won't lighten bonding, so if you plan to whiten, do it first so we can match the new shade.
Usually not. Most cosmetic bonding requires little or no removal of tooth structure, so numbing is rarely needed. You may feel the tooth being gently prepared and polished, but the visit is typically comfortable. If bonding is used to repair decay, we'll numb the area first.
