Dental Bonding
Tooth colored resin repairs for chips, gaps, and small cosmetic concerns in a single visit.
Dental bonding uses tooth colored composite resin to repair small chips, close gaps, and improve the shape or color of a tooth. The material is sculpted right on your tooth, so it's a quick way to make a visible change. Most bonding is done in a single visit.
First, we match the composite shade to your natural teeth. Dr. Mejia then prepares the tooth surface and applies a bonding agent. The composite is sculpted to the desired shape and hardened with a curing light. A final polish helps it blend in with the surrounding teeth.
Bonding is fast and conservative, and it often requires little or no change to your natural tooth. It's an excellent first option for many minor cosmetic concerns. It can also cover small areas of wear or exposed root surfaces that cause sensitivity.
