Dental bonding has cosmetic benefits to your smile. If you are unhappy with the way that your teeth look, bonding is a fast, easy and noninvasive way to completely correct minor flaws and imperfections. Some of the different problems that bonding can address include:

• Gaps and spaces between teeth
• Discoloration and staining
• Chipped and cracked teeth
• Uneven teeth

Bonding is noninvasive, so it’s ideal for most patients who are looking for a long-term solution to their cosmetic woes. To determine if bonding is right for you, you’ll need to come in for an exam and consultation. We will be able to decipher if bonding is able to correct what you don’t like about your smile.

You will first come into our office and have the front teeth buffed and prepped for the bonding agent. In some cases, local anesthetic may be needed to numb the area and make the procedure more comfortable for you. Composite resin is carefully matched with your existing dentition so that the bonding blends flawlessly. Dr. Yamaguchi will then smooth the material over the teeth and detail it into place. A curing light is then used to harden the composite resin and keep it firmly in place. Your bonding is completely in place once it has fully hardened and cured, and you can expect it to last for many years with proper care.
