Dental bonding: small repairs, one visit.
Dental bonding uses tooth-colored material, shaped directly onto a tooth, to repair a chip, close a small gap, or change a tooth’s shape. It’s usually done in a single visit.
What bonding can do.
Bonding can repair a chipped or cracked edge, close a small gap between teeth, cover a small discolored area, or change the shape or length of a tooth. The material is matched to your tooth color and shaped by hand.
Bonding or veneers?
Bonding is a good fit for smaller changes and is usually done in one visit. For larger changes in color, shape, or length across several teeth, veneers may be a better option. Dr. Patel will explain which fits your goals.
Caring for bonding.
Bonding can stain or chip over time, like natural teeth. Regular checkups let us polish or touch it up when needed.
