Understanding Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure that can repair tooth damage. The bonding process involves the adhesion of composite resin, a durable plastic material, to the tooth's surface. The tooth-colored resin ultimately bonds to the tooth to improve its overall appearance.
This procedure is helpful for people with chipped, cracked, decayed, or discolored teeth. The composite resin used in dental bonding is pliable, allowing our dentist to customize and mold it into the proper shape or size. Our dentist can also color match the composite resin to closely match it to the natural color of the patient's teeth.
“The bonding process involves the adhesion of composite resin, a durable plastic material, to the tooth’s surface.”
Candidates for Dental Bonding
Patients with aesthetic dental problems are the best candidates for dental bonding. Dental bonding is ideal for cosmetic dental issues that do not require major restorative work. Patients that are interested in receiving this treatment should have healthy teeth without excessive decay or trauma. Teeth should also have roots that are in good condition and most of their enamel intact.
Dental bonding can help fix various dental issues, including:
- Abnormally sized teeth
- Discolored teeth
- Exposed tooth roots caused by receding gums
- Minor cracks or chips
- Misshapen teeth
- Small gaps in teeth

Dental Bonding Benefits
Dental bonding is a good option for restoring teeth since it is a minimally invasive procedure. This procedure allows patients to keep as much of the natural tooth structure as possible. During the application process, our dentist removes very little to no enamel at all. Minimal work to the enamel allows patients to maintain the natural health and structure of their teeth.
This quick treatment produces high-quality results that appear natural. The composite resin is durable but adaptable and can be adjusted by our doctor in the future after treatment. Dental bonding also protects and restores the function of worn-down, chipped, or discolored teeth.

The Dental Bonding Process
Compared to other dental restoration procedures, the bonding process is a relatively short one, lasting an average of 30-60 minutes per tooth. Patients do not need to prepare much ahead of time. Anesthesia is typically not necessary unless a cavity is being filled or drilling is needed.
Once the dentist has selected the resin material that resembles the color of the tooth, the bonding process can begin. The dentist will roughen the surface of the tooth and apply a special liquid. This helps the bonding resin adhere to enamel. The tooth-colored, malleable material is then applied, shaped to the tooth, and smoothed to the correct shape.
A special light hardens the material to the tooth. Then Dacula Family Dentistry will further shape and polish it, so it matches the rest of the teeth. The patient is left with a tooth that seamlessly matches the rest of their smile.

Dental Bonding vs. Veneers
Dental veneers are also a common dental restoration procedure. This thin porcelain material is specifically made to fit onto a tooth. Veneers are more invasive since they require the removal of the natural tooth structure.
Unlike dental bonding, a portion of the tooth will need to be removed so the veneer can fit tightly. It can also take several visits to make sure the fit is perfect. Both options are designed to blend with the color of surrounding teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Are there any risks with dental bonding?
A. There are no major risks associated with dental bonding. Keep in mind, a dental bond is not as strong as your natural tooth. Since it can chip or crack, it is a good idea to stop habits such as chewing on ice or biting your fingernails.
Q. How much does dental bonding cost?
A. Dental bonding is more cost-effective than many other restorative dental procedures. Costs vary depending on the location of the bond and the extent of the procedure. Check with your insurance provider to see if dental bonding gets covered under your policy.
Q. How long does dental bonding last?
A. With proper care, a dental bond can last for a decade. Touch-ups can be done if our dentist notices some wear and tear. Plan to take care of your bonded tooth just as you would the rest of your teeth.
Q. What kinds of conditions can dental bonding fix?
A. Dental bonding can address a variety of dental conditions. This includes chipped teeth, gaps between your teeth, fixing a tooth that is an odd shape, and even cosmetic fillings. Our staff can help you determine if dental bonding can correct your smile concerns.
Q. How does dental bonding work?
A. To begin, we create a composite resin material that matches the color of your teeth. The teeth are roughened to allow the resin to bond correctly. We will then apply the resin and use a special curing light to harden the resin, bonding it instantly to your teeth. Lastly, we can reshape and polish any areas as needed to ensure they look as natural as possible with the surrounding teeth.
