Dental Bonding
Dental bonding provides an effective solution for repairing teeth that are chipped, cracked, discolored, or misaligned—an excellent alternative to dental veneers.
How Dental Bonding Works
Teeth bonding is a cosmetic procedure used to enhance the appearance of a tooth or restore minor damage. It’s often recommended to repair chips, cover discoloration, fill small gaps, or as an alternative to traditional fillings. During the bonding process, we gently etch the tooth’s surface and apply a bonding liquid. Once it sets, we add a tooth-colored resin, sculpting it to match the natural shape of your tooth. After the resin hardens, we trim, smooth, and polish the tooth to create a seamless, polished look.

How long does dental bonding last?
With proper care, dental bonding can last between 3 to 10 years. Avoiding habits like nail-biting or chewing on hard objects can help extend its lifespan, along with regular dental checkups and good oral hygiene practices.
-
Can dental bonding fix chipped teeth?
Yes, dental bonding is an excellent way for fixing chipped teeth. The resin material blends with your natural tooth, restoring both appearance and function while providing a smooth finish.
-
Is dental bonding covered by insurance?
In many cases, insurance may cover dental bonding if it’s deemed medically necessary, such as to repair a chipped or damaged tooth. For cosmetic purposes, coverage varies, so it’s best to contact your insurance provider to confirm.
