What Is Tooth Bonding?

Dental bonding is a process where a composite resin is applied to the enamel on your teeth. Once it is applied, it is soft and malleable, which is when we sculpt it on your tooth to rectify the flaw before hardening it with a curing light.

It's a fairly straightforward process that is completed in one visit and is completed without anesthesia for most of our patients. It’s a way to touch up your smile without a large investment of your time or money, and it can be quite long-lasting if taken take care of properly!
