Dental Bonding
Dental Bonding at Wilshire Center Dental Group
At Wilshire Center Dental Group, we believe every patient deserves a smile they’re proud to show. Dental bonding is one of the quickest, most effective ways to correct minor imperfections and enhance the appearance of your teeth. This versatile, non-invasive cosmetic treatment can transform your smile in just one visit.
What is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure that uses a tooth-colored composite resin to improve the appearance of your teeth. The resin is carefully shaped and polished to match the surrounding teeth, creating a seamless and natural-looking result. Bonding is ideal for addressing small flaws, repairing damage, or closing gaps between teeth.
Benefits of Dental Bonding
- Quick and Painless: Most bonding treatments can be completed in under an hour per tooth, with no need for anesthesia.
- Cost-Effective: Bonding is an affordable alternative to veneers or crowns for minor cosmetic corrections.
- Natural Appearance: The composite resin is color-matched to your teeth, ensuring a natural and beautiful smile.
- Non-Invasive: Unlike crowns or veneers, bonding typically requires minimal enamel removal.
What Can Dental Bonding Fix?
Dental bonding is an excellent solution for addressing a variety of cosmetic and structural issues, including:
- Chipped or Cracked Teeth: Restores shape and protects against further damage.
- Discolored Teeth: Masks stubborn stains that don’t respond to whitening treatments.
- Gaps Between Teeth: Fills small spaces for a more uniform smile.
- Misshapen Teeth: Corrects uneven or irregularly shaped teeth.
- Lengthening Short Teeth: Adds length to teeth for improved balance and symmetry.
The Dental Bonding Process
-
Consultation and Planning
During your consultation, our dentists will discuss your smile goals and examine your teeth to determine if bonding is the best solution for your needs. We’ll choose a resin shade that matches your natural teeth. -
Preparation
Bonding requires little to no preparation. In most cases, there’s no need for drilling or anesthesia. -
Application
The composite resin is applied to the tooth’s surface and carefully sculpted to achieve the desired shape and size. -
Curing and Polishing
A special curing light hardens the resin in seconds. Once set, the bonded area is polished to blend seamlessly with the rest of your teeth.

Caring for Your Bonded Teeth
To keep your bonded teeth looking their best:
- Maintain good oral hygiene with regular brushing and flossing.
- Avoid biting hard objects or chewing on your nails.
- Minimize consumption of staining foods and drinks, such as coffee and red wine.
- Schedule regular dental checkups and cleanings.
While bonding is durable, it’s not as strong as natural enamel or veneers. With proper care, your bonded teeth can last several years.
