What Is Teeth Bonding?

Teeth bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves applying a durable composite resin to repair and enhance the appearance of teeth. It is a non-invasive, painless, and cost-effective solution for minor dental imperfections. Some common reasons for teeth bonding include:

  • Chipped or Cracked Teeth: Restores structure and prevents further damage.
  • Gaps Between Teeth: Fills small spaces for a more uniform smile.
  • Discolored Teeth: Covers stains that don’t respond to whitening treatments.
  • Misshapen or Uneven Teeth: Enhances symmetry and alignment.
  • Tooth Root Protection: Covers exposed roots due to gum recession.

Signs You Might Need Teeth Bonding

If you experience any of the following concerns, teeth bonding could be the ideal solution:

  • Visible Chips or Cracks: Small imperfections that affect the look of your smile.
  • Tooth Discoloration: Stubborn stains that don’t respond to traditional whitening.
  • Uneven or Misshapen Teeth: Teeth that appear irregular or slightly out of alignment.
  • Small Gaps Between Teeth: Minor spaces that affect your confidence.
  • Exposed Tooth Roots: Sensitivity due to gum recession.
