Dental bonding is one of the most versatile and affordable cosmetic dental procedures. Using tooth-colored resin, we can transform your smile in a single visit.
What Can Bonding Fix?

- Short teeth
The Bonding Process
Quick and Painless 1. We select a resin color matching your teeth 2. The tooth surface is roughened slightly 3. A conditioning liquid is applied 4. Resin is applied, molded, and smoothed 5. UV light hardens the material 6. Final shaping and polishing
The entire process takes 30-60 minutes per tooth.
