Give Your Smile a Brand-New Look with Cosmetic Dental Bonding
Cosmetic dental bonding can give your smile a new look in just one dental visit. Bonding is a quick, easy, and affordable way to correct imperfections in your smile with stunning results! At Peachtree Corners Dental Associates in Peachtree Corners, Georgia, we use teeth bonding for gaps, minor tooth repair, concealing stubborn tooth stains, and more. In this post, Dr. Kristina Dawson answers your questions about dental bonding to help you decide if it’s a good fit for you.
What is cosmetic dental bonding?
Cosmetic bonding uses composite resin material to enhance your smile. This tooth-colored material is applied to the surface of your teeth to cover chips, stains, gaps, cracks, and other imperfections that detract from your smile’s overall appearance. Dr. Dawson will mold the resin mixture to the shape of your teeth to give your smile a smooth, natural appearance. Finally, we’ll cure the resin material with an LED light to harden it in place permanently.Â
What imperfections can dental bonding fix?
Dr. Dawson can use cosmetic bonding to: Â
- Erase stains and discolorations that don’t respond well to teeth whitening
- Repair chipped or cracked teeth
- Rebuild a broken tooth
- Close minor tooth gaps or uneven spaces between teeth
- Reshape irregular teethÂ
- Restore worn tooth enamel
- Make slightly crooked teeth appear straight
- Cover exposed tooth roots to relieve tooth sensitivity
What are the main advantages of cosmetic bonding?
One of the beauties of this cosmetic treatment is its simplicity. Additive bonding is a noninvasive procedure that doesn’t require surgery or anesthesia. We also don’t have to alter your tooth structure for this treatment. The procedure is quick and easy, and it can be completed in just one dental visit. Dr. Dawson can correct multiple tooth flaws in one bonding procedure, saving you time and money while enhancing your smile’s aesthetics. As cosmetic bonding has no downtime, you can return to your normal activities immediately after completing your treatment.

What are some disadvantages of dental bonding?
Bonding has a shorter lifespan than other cosmetic treatments, such as dental crowns and porcelain veneers. Unlike porcelain material, composite resin is prone to staining. You risk staining your bonded teeth if you smoke, drink coffee, tea, or red wine regularly, or don’t brush and floss daily. Â
How long does dental bonding last?
Bonding generally lasts five to seven years. However, you can extend the lifespan of your treatment by taking good care of your teeth. Brushing twice daily, flossing, and scheduling regular dental cleanings will keep your bonded teeth in great shape for years. Dr. Dawson cautions against eating hard foods, chewing on ice, and using your teeth like tools, as these activities can damage your teeth and destroy your treatment.
