Composite bonding is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses tooth-colored resin to repair chips, cracks, gaps, and discoloration. At Martindale Smiles, our dentists skillfully apply and sculpt the composite material to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, often completing the entire procedure in a single visit. It is one of the most affordable and conservative cosmetic dental treatments available.
What Composite Bonding Can Fix
Bonding is an excellent solution for minor cosmetic imperfections including chipped or cracked teeth, small gaps between teeth, teeth that appear too short, minor discoloration, and exposed tooth roots due to gum recession. It provides a quick, effective way to improve the appearance of your smile without extensive dental work.
The Bonding Procedure
The procedure typically requires no anesthesia unless it is being used to fill a cavity. Your dentist selects a composite resin color that closely matches your natural tooth shade, applies a conditioning liquid to the tooth surface, then applies, molds, and smooths the resin into the desired shape. A special ultraviolet light hardens the material, and final polishing ensures a natural-looking finish.
