During your visit, we’ll evaluate your teeth, assess your smile, and talk through your goals. We’ll help determine if dental bonding is the right choice or if another option, like veneers or professional whitening, might be more appropriate based on your specific needs and desired outcome.
We start by gently preparing the tooth surface and selecting a resin shade that closely matches your enamel. The composite material is then applied, shaped to blend with your tooth, and carefully smoothed. A special curing light is used to harden the material and bond it securely in place.
Once the material is fully hardened, we’ll polish the bonded area to a smooth, natural-looking shine that blends with your surrounding teeth. The entire bonding process typically takes under an hour per tooth, with no recovery time—so you can leave smiling confidently the same day.
