What is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding, or tooth bonding, is a cosmetic dental procedure to improve the appearance and functionality of teeth. The procedure involves using composite resin material that matches the color of your tooth to fill fractures, cracks, and gaps between the teeth.
Dental Bonding
Why is it important?
Benefits
Versatile
Dental bonding can correct a variety of smile imperfections, including chipped, fractured, and severely stained teeth. It can also fill in large, unappealing gaps between teeth. Dental bonding also restores the proper functioning of these damaged teeth and protects them from decay.
Cost-Effective
Dental bonding is more affordable than other cosmetic dental procedures for correcting teeth imperfections. It’s an excellent option for patients with a tight budget but is just as effective as the more expensive treatments.
Minimally-Invasive
Dental bonding is less invasive than other cosmetic dental procedures like veneers and dental crowns. The dentist won’t require removing the enamel or dentin for dental bonding.
The Dental Bonding Treatment Process

1
Initial Consultation
Our Justin dentists, Dr. Greg or Dr. Chris, will first examine your teeth to check whether dental bonding is the right procedure for your dental issues. If you qualify, they’ll compare a shade guide with your teeth to ensure the bonding material matches your teeth.

Preparation & Bonding
Our dentists will apply a mild acidic solution on the teeth to roughen the surface. Sometimes we use Teflon, or dentist's tape, to cover the surrounding teeth and protect it from the acid. We then rinse away the acidic solution and apply the bonding agent, followed by the bonding material then proceeds to shape it to the desired shape.

Curing & Polishing
Once the bonding agent takes shape, we use a special LED light to cure the bonding agent for about 20 to 30 seconds. The curing process helps the bonding agent adhere and attach securely to the teeth. We’ll then polish the teeth to shape and give them a natural sheen.

Bite Adjustment & Final Inspection
We might ask you to bite a piece of articulation paper to check your bite alignment. This allows for any necessary adjustments before sending you home. We also conduct a final visual inspection to ensure the bonding color matches and the bonding aligns with the rest of the teeth.

Yes, dental bonding is generally reversible. Unlike veneers or crowns, bonding doesn't require significant removal of tooth enamel. If you're unsatisfied with the results or want to explore other cosmetic options in the future, the bonding material can be safely removed.
