Cosmetic bonding is a quick, minimally invasive way to repair small imperfections in your teeth—enhancing your smile with natural-looking results in just one visit. Whether it’s a chip, gap, or uneven edge, bonding is a simple yet effective solution for subtle improvements that make a big difference.

What Is Cosmetic Bonding?

Bonding involves the application of a tooth-colored composite resin to reshape, rebuild, or refine a tooth. The material is carefully sculpted, smoothed, and polished to match your natural enamel—seamlessly blending in with the rest of your smile.

What Can Bonding Fix?

Cosmetic bonding is a great option for improving:

• Chipped or cracked teeth

• Small gaps between teeth

• Minor discoloration or spots

• Uneven edges or worn enamel

• Slightly misshaped or undersized teeth

Bonding is often used for front teeth and other visible areas, offering a conservative alternative to more involved cosmetic treatments.

What to Expect

Most bonding procedures can be completed in a single visit—no lab work or temporaries required. Here’s what the process typically involves:

1. Preparation – In most cases, no numbing is needed. The tooth is gently roughened, and a conditioning gel is applied to help the resin adhere.

2. Application – Dr. Drangsholt carefully layers and shapes the composite resin to achieve the desired look.

3. Finishing Touches – The material is hardened with a special curing light and then polished to a natural, smooth shine.

The result? A refreshed, beautiful smile with no downtime and little to no tooth reduction.

Cosmetic bonding is ideal for patients looking for fast, affordable, and natural-looking smile improvements. It’s a great way to love your smile even more—without the commitment of more extensive procedures.
