How does Dental Bonding work?

First, our Boulder dentist will lightly etch your tooth. Next, a bonding liquid is applied and set. After the bond sets, a plastic resin is applied and sculpted into the desired shape. Lastly, it will be trimmed and polished down to create a natural appearance.

Considerations for Dental Bonding

The bonding procedure can often be completed in a single office visit and can improve the appearance of a tooth significantly. However, since the plastic resin used is not as strong as your natural tooth enamel, it is more likely to stain, chip, or break than natural teeth. Bonding typically lasts three to five years before the need for repair.
