Dental bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure used to improve the appearance of teeth and repair minor imperfections. In this treatment, a tooth-colored composite resin material is applied to the surface of the tooth and shaped to correct issues such as chips, cracks, discoloration, gaps, or uneven edges. Dental bonding is a quick and cost-effective solution for enhancing a patient’s smile.

The procedure usually begins with the dentist selecting a resin shade that closely matches the natural color of the patient’s teeth. The surface of the tooth is then lightly roughened, and a conditioning liquid is applied to help the bonding material adhere properly. The composite resin is placed on the tooth, carefully molded into the desired shape, and hardened using a special curing light.
