Bonding
A fast, budget-friendly way to fix a chip, gap, or small imperfection — often finished in a single visit.
Book Appointment
Bonding uses the same tooth-colored composite resin found in modern fillings, sculpted directly onto the tooth to repair a chip, close a small gap, or reshape an uneven edge — usually without any numbing needed.
It's the fastest and most affordable of our cosmetic options, which makes it a great fit for a single problem tooth rather than a full smile redesign.

FAQ
Questions about bonding
How long does bonding take?
Most bonding is completed in a single visit, often in under an hour per tooth, with no lab work or waiting required.
How long does it last?
Bonding typically lasts 4-8 years depending on habits like nail-biting or grinding, and it can be touched up or refreshed as needed.
Is bonding as strong as veneers?
Bonding is more affordable but less stain-resistant and durable than porcelain veneers — we'll help you choose the right fit based on the tooth and your goals.
Does bonding require any tooth removal?
Very little to none — bonding is one of the most conservative cosmetic options, since it adds material rather than removing much of the tooth.
Can bonding fix a gap between my front teeth?
Yes, for small to moderate gaps, bonding can close the space in a single visit — larger gaps may be better suited to veneers or orthodontics.
Will bonded teeth stain over time?
Composite resin can pick up some staining over the years, especially with coffee, tea, or tobacco — we can polish or refresh it during routine visits to keep it looking its best.
