Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is an alternative to teeth veneers and can be used as a restorative procedure for teeth that are chipped, cracked, discolored or misarranged.

How does dental bonding work?

The tooth is prepared for dental bonding by lightly etching the surface and applying a bonding liquid. Once the liquid sets, a plastic resin is applied and sculpted into the desired shape by the dentist. Once set, the resin is trimmed, smoothed and polished to a natural appearance.

Considerations for Dental Bonding

The bonding procedure can often be completed in a single office visit, and can improve the appearance of a tooth significantly. However, since the plastic resin used is not as strong as your natural tooth enamel, it is more likely to stain, chip or break than natural teeth. Bonding typically lasts three to five years before need of repair.

Patient Review by Brian T

Dr. Pena and staff were very accommodating to my "dental emergency" over a holiday weekend. Although we determined that it could wait to regular business hours, the support over the weekend was very helpful and reassuring to know that if things had turned out worse, they would be there to help. The team made sure I was very satisfied with their work before I left and made every effort to fix even the smallest of details. Thank you very much!
