What is tooth bonding?
Tooth bonding is a simple and effective way to restore your smile’s natural beauty. Using a tooth-colored composite resin, this treatment repairs imperfections and enhances your teeth with a seamless, natural look. The resin is carefully applied to the tooth surface and hardened under ultraviolet light, delivering quick, long-lasting results that blend perfectly with your smile.

How does tooth bonding work?
Tooth bonding is a straightforward and effective cosmetic dental procedure that restores your smile. Here’s how it works:
Preparing the Tooth
The tooth surface is gently cleaned and prepped to ensure the bonding material adheres properly.
Applying the Composite Resin
A tooth-colored resin is carefully applied to the affected area, matching the natural shade of your teeth.
Shaping and Sculpting
The resin is skillfully molded and shaped to blend seamlessly with your tooth for a flawless finish.
Hardening the Resin
A special curing light is used to harden the resin, making it strong and durable.
Polishing for Perfection
The bonded area is polished to match the natural shine of your teeth, leaving you with a radiant smile.
Who is a good candidate for cosmetic bonding?
Ideal candidates for tooth bonding are those who are happy with the overall color and appearance of their teeth but simply need a tooth repaired that’s discolored, damaged, or oddly shaped.
Minor damage and misshapen teeth
Tooth bonding is ideal for those who have generally healthy teeth but have incurred slight damage, like a chipped front tooth, or a visible tooth that has a shape or length that’s unaesthetic. That’s why dental bonding of front teeth with minor damage is extremely common. A major break in a tooth, however, often needs to be treated with a crown or by replacing the tooth completely with a dental implant.
Localized tooth discoloration
While tooth bonding can address discoloration in a single tooth, those with widespread discoloration should consider getting their teeth professionally whitened prior to bonding a tooth, since the bonding material cannot be whitened once applied.
Patients that are NOT ideal for dental bonding include those with:
• Major damage to teeth
• Severe tooth decay
• Extremely discolored teeth
• Grinding or clenching habits
The only way to know for sure if you’re a good candidate for tooth bonding is to get a professional evaluation and diagnosis. If you’re unhappy with the appearance of your teeth, we’re here to help! At Clearview Dental, we offer comprehensive tooth repair treatments.

Commonly asked questions
How long does tooth bonding last?
It depends on various factors, such as oral hygiene practices and lifestyle habits. However, with proper care, tooth bonding can last several years!
What is the difference between tooth bonding and veneers?
Tooth Bonding:
• Uses tooth-colored resin directly applied to teeth
• Minimal preparation — single visit
• Versatile for chips, stains, gaps, and minor misalignments
• Lasts around 5-10 years
Veneers:
• Thin, custom-made shells (porcelain)
• Requires preparation — at least two visits
• Customized for shape, color, and appearance
• Conceals moderate to severe imperfections
• Lasts 10-15+ years
Bonding offers versatility and quicker results, while veneers provide a highly customized and longer-lasting solution. We’ll help you choose the best option for your smile transformation.
Will tooth bonding stain over time?
While the composite resin used in tooth bonding is resistant to staining, it can still develop minor discoloration over time. Regular dental hygiene practices and avoiding staining agents can help maintain the appearance.
Is tooth bonding a permanent solution?
Tooth bonding is considered a semi-permanent solution. It can last for several years, but it may require occasional touch-ups or replacements depending on your oral health and lifestyle habits.
