Dental bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure used to repair minor imperfections and improve the appearance of teeth. In this treatment, a tooth-colored composite resin material is applied to the surface of the tooth and carefully shaped to correct issues such as chips, cracks, discoloration, gaps, or uneven tooth edges. Dental bonding is a quick and cost-effective solution for enhancing the look of 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 tooth surface is then lightly roughened, and a special conditioning liquid is applied to help the bonding material adhere properly. The composite resin is placed on the tooth, molded into the desired shape, and hardened using a curing light.
