What Is Dental Bonding?

Teeth bonding is a cost-effective and efficient way of covering up cosmetic dental flaws and repairing minor injuries that may have knocked your teeth out of alignment. A tooth bonding procedure requires 30 to 60 minutes per tooth. You should experience immediate results with little or no pain.


Due to aging or injury, your teeth can become damaged or out of alignment. When that happens, no matter what your age, you need some professional dental care. Teeth bonding is an ideal solution for a myriad of issues. Your cosmetic dentist makes the bonding teeth material out of durable plastic resin (dental adhesive), often in just one visit. Once the dental resin is applied, the plastic resin bonds chemically to your teeth. If you’re wondering “how long does dental bonding last” – Most cosmetic bonding lasts around three to 10 years.



Matching the bonding teeth resin to the natural shade of your teeth improves both the shape and appearance of your smile. The process for cosmetic dental bonding usually requires very little preparation, and you may not even need anesthesia. Tooth bonding offers cosmetic and restorative benefits that appear natural. Bonding delivers a high satisfactory rate for durability and cost.
