What Is Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is sometimes referred to as either teeth bonding or cosmetic bonding. Simply put, the process involves using dental composite material to reshape a tooth. This type of material is often used in other dental applications including restorative treatments. Dental bonding is unique because it is primarily a cosmetic procedure and does not provide any functional benefits to the tooth other than changing the tooth’s aesthetics.
The dental bonding process involves matching the material to the color of your teeth, prepping the tooth, applying the resin, molding/shaping the resin, and then curing the resin so it hardens and bonds to the tooth. Dental bonding materials are designed to be virtually indistinguishable from the surrounding tooth and can help hide chips/cracks, fix discoloration, or close gaps between your teeth.

What Problems Can Dental Bonding Help Fix?
Dental bonding is a purely cosmetic dental procedure that is primarily used to improve the aesthetics and/or symmetry of a patient’s smile. Here are a few of the cosmetic issues dental bonding can help fix.
Chips/Cracks
When teeth get chipped or cracked, dental bonding can help hide this damage. Of course, a dentist will only recommend bonding if the damage is purely superficial.
Discolored/Stained Teeth
Dental bonding material is tooth-colored and can be matched to your other teeth, allowing the material to help hide stains or discoloration.
Tooth Shape
If some of your teeth are significantly smaller or a different shape than one another, dental bonding can be used to reshape your teeth to make them more symmetrical.
Closing Gaps
For large gaps, orthodontic treatments like Invisalign are often recommended, but for small gaps, dental bonding can help close them.
