Dental Bonding

Cosmetic dental bonding is a versatile, minimally invasive treatment that enhances both the appearance and function of your teeth. Whether you have chips, cracks, gaps, or minor discoloration, bonding can provide a strong, natural-looking solution in just one visit. It also serves as a conservative alternative to porcelain veneers, preserving more of your natural tooth structure. If you’re looking for top-quality dental care, our Coronado dentist—Dr. Jason Keckley—can help you achieve a healthier, more confident smile.

What Is Cosmetic Bonding?

Cosmetic bonding involves applying tooth-colored composite resin to restore and improve teeth affected by minor damage or cosmetic concerns. The material is sculpted to rebuild shape, close small spaces, strengthen weakened areas, and improve overall bite function while blending seamlessly with your smile.

What Are the Benefits of Cosmetic Bonding?

Dental bonding can offer numerous benefits, including: 

• Restoration of Strength & Function: Helps protect chipped or worn teeth from further damage.
• Minimally Invasive Alternative to Veneers: Unlike porcelain veneers, bonding requires little to no enamel removal.
• Fast & Painless: Can typically be completed in one visit without anesthesia.
• Cost-Effective: More affordable than veneers or dental crowns while still providing aesthetic and functional benefits.
• Natural Look & Feel: The composite resin is matched to your tooth color and polished for a smooth finish.

What Does Cosmetic Bonding Treatment Involve?

During treatment, the tooth surface is lightly etched and conditioned to ensure a strong bond. A custom-matched composite resin solution is then applied to the surface of the tooth, shaped to correct imperfections, and hardened with a curing light. Once set, the material is polished to match the natural sheen of your enamel.

The entire process is generally considered to be quick, comfortable, and requires little to no downtime. With proper care, bonded teeth can remain strong and beautiful for years.
