How Dental Bonding Works
Dental bonding is quick and painless and typically completed in one visit. We begin by selecting a resin color that matches your natural teeth.
Your tooth’s surface is lightly roughened, and a conditioning liquid is applied. Then, the tooth-colored resin is placed, shaped, and hardened with a special curing light. Afterward, the bonded area is polished for a smooth, natural finish.

Following Your Dental Bonding
A follow-up visit may be necessary to check your gum’s response to the bonding. After your bonding, it’s best to avoid hard foods and limit coffee or tea to avoid staining.
If you have questions or have any issues with your dental bonding, please let us know.
