What Is Bonding?

• to correct a tooth gap
• to cover discolorations
• to repair chipped/cracked teeth

Bonding takes approximately 30-60 minutes in a single visit to our office. Tooth bonding is dependent upon the artistic ability of the dentist, since the work is done “freehand” without taking impressions or using a laboratory. The tooth must be color-matched, sculpted, and polished to produce a beautiful and natural-looking result.

Dr. Blass is specially trained in tooth bonding techniques and has experience in cosmetic dentistry.

The Bonding Procedure

First, we select a shade of composite resin that is as close as possible to the shade of your teeth. Then, Dr. Blass applies a liquid that helps the bonding material adhere to the teeth. The composite resin is applied to the teeth, smoothed into the desired shape, and hardened with a high intensity light. After the resin has hardened, Dr. Blass makes a few final touches and polish the teeth being treated until they resemble the other teeth. Dr. Blass can repair multiple teeth during a single visit.
