Dental Bonding
Dental Bonding Cosmetic Procedure
Bonding is a simple and effective way to improve the appearance of teeth that have been impacted by:
Minor Fractures, Chips or Wear
Gaps
Enamel Irregularities
Gum Recession
Stains
Gum Irritation
Oral Health
…And other minor aesthetic concerns
With composite bonding, our dentists can recreate the appearance of a whole tooth. It’s an ideal method when there are only one or two teeth of concern.
What is Bonding?
The material used in composite bonding is similar to the materials that we use when completing a white filling. Using color-matched composite, our dentists re-build or alter the tooth’s form by applying the bonding to it and then allowing it to harden into place. Once completed, your tooth looks natural and whole, just the way it should.
Patients of all ages and backgrounds can benefit from composite bonding. The procedure is relatively short to complete and may even be possible without the need for local anesthesia.

Tooth Sensitivity and Health Considerations
Tooth sensitivity, often called sensitive teeth, is a common concern that can arise when undergoing specific dental procedures, including teeth whitening treatments. Individuals considering tooth bleaching should be mindful of the potential tooth sensitivity a bleaching agent can cause. It is vital to provide your dentist with a comprehensive understanding of your health and dental history, as pre-existing conditions like periodontal disease can influence the outcomes of such treatments.
The delicate nature of tooth sensitivity is often associated with the tooth pulp, the innermost part of the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels. Dental professionals take great care during teeth whitening procedures to minimize discomfort while safeguarding the integrity of the tooth enamel. Understanding your dental health background can further aid in tailoring the treatment approach to your needs. By addressing concerns related to tooth sensitivity and considering factors like periodontal disease and the health of your tooth pulp, you can ensure a more comfortable and effective teeth whitening experience.
