What Is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure in which a pliable, tooth-colored resin is applied to the surface of your teeth and then sculpted, hardened, and polished for a seamless finish. It’s ideal for correcting:

Chipped or cracked teeth
Gaps between teeth
Uneven edges or misshapen teeth
Mild discoloration or staining
Small cavities or worn enamel

The material used in bonding is matched precisely to the shade of your natural teeth for results that blend beautifully into your smile.

The Dental Bonding Process at Aesthetic Smiles

At Aesthetic Smiles, the dental bonding process is simple, comfortable, and typically completed in under an hour per tooth. Here’s what you can expect:

Consultation & Color Matching
Dr. Wade Pilling or Dr. Jordan Pilling will examine your teeth, discuss your aesthetic goals, and select a composite resin that matches your tooth color precisely.
Surface Preparation
The tooth surface is lightly etched, and a bonding agent is applied to help the resin adhere.
Application & Shaping
The composite material is placed on the tooth and carefully shaped to achieve the desired form and contour.
Curing & Polishing
A special curing light is used to harden the resin. Finally, the bonded area is polished until it blends smoothly with your natural enamel.

How long does dental bonding last?

Bonding can last 5 to 10 years or more with good oral hygiene and regular dental visits.

Does bonding damage my tooth enamel?

No. Dental bonding is minimally invasive and preserves the majority of your natural tooth structure.

Is dental bonding covered by insurance?

Bonding is typically considered cosmetic, but if it's used to restore a decayed tooth, some insurance plans may provide coverage. We’re happy to help verify your benefits.

Can bonding be used on front teeth?

Yes, bonding is an excellent solution for visible front teeth due to its aesthetic quality and precise color-matching.

What’s the difference between bonding and veneers?

Veneers are custom-made porcelain shells, typically used for more durable, long-term transformations. Bonding is quicker and more cost-effective but may require occasional touch-ups.
