Dental bonding is a cosmetic dental treatment used to repair minor imperfections in teeth and enhance their appearance. In this procedure, a tooth-colored composite resin material is applied to the tooth and carefully shaped to correct issues such as chips, cracks, discoloration, gaps, or uneven edges. Dental bonding is a quick and affordable way to improve the look of a smile without extensive dental work.

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