Minor imperfections such as chips are easy to conceal using dental bonding.
Is Dental Bonding Right for Me?
Your dentist may recommend bonding if you wish to correct minor instances of:
- Chips or cracks
- Discoloration
- Gaps
- Disproportionate or misshapen teeth
- Slight misalignments
- Fractures
Patients interested in dental bonding must be in generally good oral health. Dr. Shainholtz can help you resolve oral health issues such as cavities and gum disease before undergoing cosmetic treatments.
Dr. Shainholz may recommend a more extensive treatment, such as porcelain veneers, depending on the severity of the imperfection.

Benefits of Bonding
When performed by a reputable dentist, cosmetic bonding is safe, simple, and effective. It is a versatile procedure that is simpler and less expensive than most other cosmetic treatment options. Unlike porcelain veneers, bonding does not require any alteration of your teeth. In addition, composite resin is durable and can last up to 10 years with proper care. Patients often choose to undergo bonding as an affordable way to determine if they wish to invest in veneers.
Your Treatment
The bonding process can usually be completed in a single office appointment lasting one to two hours. The length of your treatment will vary depending on the number of teeth you wish to treat.
Dr. Shainholtz will use a color chart to ensure that the bonding material matches the shade of your teeth. If you wish to whiten your teeth as well, you should undergo this treatment before bonding so we can match the shade of your resin to your newly whitened smile.
Next, he will treat your teeth with a mild acid solution to create a better bonding surface. Once your teeth are prepared, Dr. Shainholtz can place the resin and shape it to achieve the desired effect. He may need to apply several layers of resin to achieve the enhancement you want.
Dr. Shainholtz will use a special UV dental light to harden the material. The final step is to make sure that you are satisfied with your results. He will check the symmetry of your teeth and ensure your bite is properly balanced. Any necessary adjustments will be made before you leave our office.
