Dental bonding is a proficient way to reshape or repair your smile using composite resin.
Dental Bonding in Tulsa, OK
With dental bonding, a tooth-colored composite resin is applied, shaped, and hardened with a special light to improve the appearance of a tooth. It is a quick, painless, and cost-effective way to repair minor dental imperfections such as chipped or uneven teeth. Dental bonding can often be completed in a single visit and without anesthetic.
If chipped or damaged teeth are making you self-conscious or affecting your bite, dental bonding can be an ideal way to restore your smile’s appearance and function.

How does the dental bonding process work?
First, the targeted tooth is etched and prepped. After applying the etching, a bonding resin is used to cement the composite in place. After applying several layers of tooth-colored composite, the composite and bonding resin are shaped and hardened. Once the composite is fully set, the bonded areas are smoothed, buffed, and polished to blend naturally with your other teeth.

How long will dental bonding last?
Dental bonding typically lasts 3 to 10 years, depending on oral hygiene, lifestyle habits, and the location of the bonded tooth. While not as durable as crowns or veneers in some cases, proper care can help extend the lifespan of dental bonding.
