Dental bonding is a quick, minimally invasive cosmetic and restorative treatment that uses tooth-colored composite resin to repair and reshape teeth. At Licata Dental in Chesterfield, MO, Dr. Faye Licata, DMD uses dental bonding to fix chipped or cracked teeth, close small gaps, cover stains or discoloration, and reshape uneven or short teeth — all in a single visit and often without the need for anesthesia.
Unlike porcelain veneers or crowns, dental bonding requires no lab work, removes very little (if any) tooth enamel, and is one of the most affordable ways to enhance your smile.
For patients looking for fast, natural-looking improvements without the commitment of more invasive procedures, bonding is often the ideal choice.
The dental bonding process is simple and comfortable. Dr. Licata begins by selecting a composite resin shade that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. The tooth surface is lightly prepared and a conditioning liquid is applied to help the resin adhere. The resin is then shaped and sculpted directly onto the tooth, hardened with a special curing light, and finally polished so it looks and feels like a natural part of your smile.
Most bonding procedures are completed in 30 to 60 minutes per tooth, and you’ll leave the office with your improved smile the same day — no second visit required.
Dental bonding is an excellent option for patients with:
Patients with larger gaps, extensive damage, or teeth that require major structural repair may be better candidates for porcelain veneers, dental crowns, or inlays and onlays. During your consultation, Dr. Licata will evaluate your smile and recommend the option best suited to your needs.
Dental bonding is one of the quickest and most affordable ways to make real improvements to your smile — and at Licata Dental, every treatment is carefully customized to fit your teeth, your goals, and your budget. Whether you’re repairing a single chipped tooth or reshaping several, Dr. Faye Licata, DMD will take the time to listen, explain your options, and deliver natural-looking results.
