What Can Dental Bonding Do?
Dental bonding is a cosmetic dentistry procedure in which a dentist applies composite resin to the tooth surface to address flaws like:
Minor chips and cracks can give your smile an unhealthy appearance. Composite resin can address these concerns and improve the structure of your teeth.
Dental bonding can lengthen short teeth and correct the appearance of misshapen teeth, leading to a more even smile.
Deep dental stains that don't respond to teeth whitening can be concealed with dental bonding. Our dentists will color-match the bonding material to your teeth for a natural-looking smile.
Gaps between teeth can cause feelings of embarrassment, but dental bonding can close the gaps.
Though bonding isn't a replacement for braces or aligners, it can conceal minor misalignment.

Dental bonding can be completed in a single appointment that typically lasts under an hour. During your treatment at one of our offices serving Spring, TX, you can expect several steps:
Our experienced dentists offer comprehensive care for the entire family with an unparalleled commitment to your comfort and satisfaction.
Caring for Your Bonded Teeth
With proper maintenance, dental bonding can last from three to 10 years. Our dentists recommend that you:
You can care for your new dentistry solution similarly to how you care for your natural teeth. We recommend that patients brush twice a day, floss once a day, and attend all regularly scheduled checkups with our dentists serving Spring, TX.
Bad habits like using your teeth to open packages, carrying things with your mouth, and biting your nails can damage your dental bonding. Try not to use your teeth as tools, because this can crack or chip both your natural teeth and your dental bonding.
Our dentists recommend wearing protective equipment like a mouthguard when playing contact sports. They also recommend treating sleep apnea with a custom oral appliance to prevent the grinding and clenching that can occur with this disorder.
Bonding vs. Veneers How Each Procedure Measures Up
Permanence
In order for veneers to lie flush with surrounding teeth, they require the removal of some tooth structure. This means your tooth will always need a restoration. Dental bonding is reversible, because it only needs simple etching of the tooth surface.
Cost
Though they work to conceal the same flaws, dental bonding is inexpensive when compared to the price of veneers. Dental bonding can be a good way to try the look of a new smile before you commit to veneers.
Modifiable
If you're unsatisfied with the appearance of your dental bonding, your dentist can alter it by changing its shape or color, so it will always match your smile. In contrast, you may require a new veneer if you want to change its appearance.
Your dentist can go over the benefits and drawbacks of each procedure during your consultation and determine which will best help you achieve your goals. We offer both veneers and bonding at our offices serving Spring, TX.
Paying for Your Dental Bonding
Though your dental insurance may contribute to the cost of dental bonding that is used to correct a chip or crack in a tooth, insurance won't contribute when the procedure is done for purely cosmetic reasons. Fortunately, bonding is a relatively inexpensive procedure. Additionally, we accept financing through CareCredit®, Wells Fargo, and Compassionate Finance™ so enhancing your smile is always within reach.
