Dental Bonding – Raleigh, NC

What Is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding is often suggested when a patient has one or more minor cosmetic dental flaws that they want to correct. For this procedure, we use a special material with composite resin, which can blend in seamlessly with your enamel once it has been shaded. Composite resin can bond directly with your enamel, so all we need to do is apply it to the tooth in order to cover the imperfections that are bothering you. After that, we can harden the material in place.

We generally suggest dental bonding to correct small chips and cracks, certain gaps, stains that won’t go away, and teeth that are irregularly shaped or smaller than normal. If you’re looking to restore your smile’s natural beauty, this quick and affordable treatment delivers noticeable results in just one visit. Discover the benefits of dental bonding in Raleigh and enjoy a confident, flawless smile today.

• Step 1: Smile Evaluation & Shade Selection
  We assess your tooth and choose a resin shade that blends seamlessly. A tooth-colored resin shade is chosen to seamlessly match your natural enamel.
• Step 2: Gentle Tooth Preparation
  The tooth surface is lightly etched to create a secure bonding foundation. This step is minimally invasive and ensures long-lasting adhesion.

  A tooth-colored resin material is carefully placed on the targeted area. We apply just the right amount to build the ideal shape and coverage.
• Step 4: Shaping & Sculpting
  Your dentist artistically contours the resin to blend with surrounding teeth. The goal is to achieve symmetry, shape accuracy, and a flawless appearance
• Step 5: Curing the Material
  A special curing light hardens the resin within seconds. This makes the material durable and ready for everyday use immediately.
• Step 6: Final Polish & Bite Check
  We smooth and polish the area to create a natural shine and texture. Your bite is checked to ensure comfort and perfect function.
