What Is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding involves applying tooth-colored composite resin directly to the surface of your teeth to fix cosmetic flaws. Patients frequently use bonding to repair teeth that are cracked, discolored, poorly shaped, and more.

Candidates for Treatment
While most of our patients in the greater Raleigh area qualify for dental bonding, we will assess a few factors to ensure this treatment is right for you.
Oral Health
Patients should have good overall oral health. This means you should be free of tooth decay and periodontal disease. If you are in need of restorative work, our dentists will tend to those concerns first before moving to bonding.
Cosmetic Issues
Bonding works best for minor repairs and enhancement, not major dental corrections. If you have a significant degree of misalignment or extensive structural issues, orthodontics, crowns, or veneers may better suit you.
Expectations
Dental bonding can be a great way to ease into cosmetic dentistry without committing to an expensive or permanent procedure. However, it is important to understand the results might not last as long as alternative treatments.
Traditional Veneers vs. Composite Veneer Bonding
Our dentists provide composite veneer bonding as a more conservative alternative to traditional veneers, particularly for younger patients. While veneers require removing a layer of enamel from the front surface of a tooth, composite veneer bonding will not alter your natural tooth structure. You can ask your dentist about this treatment at your next appointment to see if it's right for you.
Your Cosmetic Bonding Treatment Timeline
What to Expect on the Day of the Procedure
Bonding usually takes around 30 minutes to an hour.
Take a Look at the Incredible Results
While bonding is often used to touch up minor cracks and discoloration, it can also be used to rebuild a tooth's structure. This dental patient had a substantially chipped tooth that was reconstructed using just composite resin. The results look completely authentic and blend in seamlessly with the color of the natural enamel.
How Long Does Dental Bonding Last?
The results of dental bonding vary from one patient to the next, depending on how well you care for your teeth and follow maintenance instructions. According to the Cleveland Clinic, bonding typically lasts 3-10 years and sometimes longer.
If you are looking for longer-lasting results, you may want to consider veneers, as these have a lifespan closer to 10 years on average.
