Quick, affordable smile enhancement with dental bonding at East Wind Dental Care. Tooth-colored composite resin repairs chips, closes gaps, and improves tooth shape in just one visit.

What Is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure where tooth-colored composite resin is applied to teeth to repair minor imperfections. The resin is shaped, hardened with a special light, and polished to match surrounding teeth.

Benefits of Dental Bonding:

• Fast – Complete in 30-60 minutes per tooth
• Affordable – Less expensive than veneers or crowns
• Natural-Looking – Color-matched to your teeth
• Minimally Invasive – Usually no anesthesia needed
• Reversible – No permanent alteration to teeth
• Versatile – Corrects multiple cosmetic issues
• Same-Day Results – Walk out with improved smile

Conditions Bonding Can Treat

Dental bonding effectively repairs:

• Chipped Teeth – Fill in broken edges
• Gaps Between Teeth – Close small spaces
• Tooth Discoloration – Cover stained teeth
• Misshapen Teeth – Improve tooth shape
• Short Teeth – Lengthen worn teeth
• Exposed Roots – Cover recession
• Cavity Fillings – Tooth-colored alternative to silver fillings

The Dental Bonding Procedure

Step 1: Shade Selection

Step 2: Tooth Preparation

Step 5: Final Shaping & Polishing

Bonded tooth trimmed, shaped, and polished to match natural teeth.

Total time: 30-60 minutes per tooth
