Dental bonding
Dental bonding for conservative cosmetic repair.
Bonding uses tooth-colored composite to repair small chips, smooth uneven edges, and improve minor smile concerns.
Service detail
Small changes can make a meaningful difference.
Bonding is often a conservative option when the concern is limited and the tooth structure is otherwise healthy.
What to know
What bonding can help with
Bonding is best for focused improvements rather than full smile redesigns.

Planning your care
Bonding is useful, but not for every case.
The right choice depends on the size of the concern, bite forces, esthetic goals, and durability expectations.
Common question
How we think about it
Is bonding permanent?
Bonding is durable but may chip, stain, or need repair over time.
Is bonding better than veneers?
Bonding is more conservative; veneers may be better for larger or longer-lasting cosmetic changes.
Can bonding fix worn teeth?
Sometimes, but wear should be evaluated to understand the cause.
Does bonding stain?
Composite can stain more than porcelain and may need maintenance or replacement.
