What Is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding uses a tooth-colored composite resin to repair and reshape teeth. The material is sculpted and hardened directly onto the enamel, then polished for a lifelike finish. It’s ideal for addressing minor flaws that don’t require extensive dental work.
Common uses include:
- Repairing small chips or cracks
- Filling minor gaps between teeth
- Covering stains or discoloration
- Reshaping uneven or misshapen teeth
- Protecting exposed roots due to gum recession
The Bonding Process
At Kaviani Modern Dentistry, dental bonding is typically completed in a single appointment. The process is simple and pain-free:
- Color Matching – We select a shade of resin that matches your natural teeth.
- Surface Preparation – The tooth is gently etched to improve adhesion.
- Application & Sculpting – Composite resin is carefully applied, shaped, and smoothed.
- Curing – A special light hardens the resin in seconds.
- Polishing – The tooth is polished for a natural sheen and comfortable bite.
There is no need for anesthesia unless bonding is being used to fill a cavity or repair significant damage.
Benefits of Dental Bonding
- Non-invasive and conservative
- Completed in one visit
- No enamel removal or discomfort
- Blends naturally with existing teeth
- Affordable alternative to veneers or crowns
Dental bonding is a great entry point for cosmetic dentistry, offering visible improvements without a major investment of time or cost.
How Long Does Dental Bonding Last?
With proper care, bonded teeth can last several years. However, they are more susceptible to staining and chipping compared to porcelain veneer restorations. Avoiding habits like nail-biting or using your teeth as tools can extend their lifespan. Regular cleanings at our Memorial-area office will also help maintain their appearance.
Is Dental Bonding Right for You?
Bonding is ideal for patients with minor cosmetic concerns and good oral health. If you’re considering more extensive changes, we may recommend veneers or a full smile makeover. During your consultation, we’ll walk through all options and help you choose the treatment that aligns with your smile goals and budget.

Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.
How long does dental bonding take?
Most bonding treatments can be completed in 30 to 60 minutes per tooth, and multiple teeth may be treated in a single visit depending on your needs.
Is dental bonding painful?
No. Bonding is a non-invasive, pain-free procedure that typically requires no anesthesia unless addressing decay or damage near the nerve.
Does bonding stain over time?
Bonded resin can stain from coffee, wine, or tobacco. Unlike porcelain veneers, bonding is more porous and may discolor without good oral hygiene.
Can bonding fix a front tooth?
Yes. Dental bonding is often used on front teeth to repair chips, close gaps, or cover discoloration for a seamless, natural look.
What’s the difference between bonding and veneers?
Veneers are custom porcelain shells that cover the front of teeth, while bonding involves sculpting resin directly onto the tooth. Veneers are more durable and stain-resistant, while bonding is faster and less costly.
