What Is Cosmetic Bonding?

Cosmetic bonding, also known as dental bonding or tooth bonding, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves applying a tooth-colored resin material to the surface of your teeth. This versatile technique is used to address a variety of aesthetic concerns, including:

• Chipped or Cracked Teeth: Repairs minor imperfections and restores tooth structure.
• Gaps Between Teeth: Closes small spaces for a more uniform appearance.
• Discolored Teeth: Masks stains and discolorations resistant to whitening.
• Misshapen or Uneven Teeth: Enhances the shape and size for better symmetry.
• Exposed Roots Due to Gum Recession: Protects sensitive areas and improves aesthetics.

Benefits of Cosmetic Bonding

Quick and Convenient

Cosmetic bonding is typically completed in a single visit to our Bellingham or Snohomish office. The procedure usually takes 30 minutes to an hour per tooth, making it an excellent option for those seeking immediate results.

Minimally Invasive

Unlike other cosmetic procedures, bonding often requires little to no removal of tooth enamel. This preserves the natural structure of your teeth and avoids the need for anesthesia in most cases.

Cost-Effective Solution

Cosmetic bonding is one of the most affordable cosmetic dental treatments available. It provides significant aesthetic improvements without the higher costs associated with veneers or crowns.

Natural-Looking Results

The composite resin material used in bonding is carefully matched to the color of your natural teeth. Dr. Haider Kalhan sculpts and polishes the resin to blend seamlessly with your smile.
