Dental Bonding
A fast, affordable way to repair chips, close gaps, and improve the shape of your teeth — often completed in a single visit with no anesthesia needed.
Quick Cosmetic Fixes, Lasting Results
Dental bonding uses a tooth-colored composite resin that Dr. Merchi sculpts directly onto your tooth, then hardens with a curing light. The result blends seamlessly with your natural enamel. It's one of the most versatile cosmetic procedures available — and one of the most affordable.
Unlike veneers or crowns, bonding typically requires no removal of healthy tooth structure, making it a conservative first choice for many cosmetic concerns.
What Bonding Can Treat
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does dental bonding last?
Composite bonding typically lasts 5–10 years with proper care. Avoiding biting fingernails, chewing ice, or using teeth as tools will extend the life of your bonding significantly.
Is dental bonding painful?
In most cases, no anesthesia is needed and the procedure is completely painless. If bonding is being used to fill a cavity, a local anesthetic may be used.
How is bonding different from veneers?
Bonding uses tooth-colored composite resin applied directly to the tooth — it's faster, less expensive, and requires no lab work. Veneers are custom porcelain shells that are more durable and stain-resistant, but require more preparation.
Can bonding fix a gap between my front teeth?
Yes. Bonding is one of the most popular and cost-effective ways to close small gaps (diastema) between teeth without orthodontic treatment.
Does bonded resin stain?
Composite resin is more susceptible to staining than porcelain. Limiting coffee, tea, and red wine — especially in the first 48 hours after bonding — helps keep your results looking bright.
