Dental bonding is a simple cosmetic dental procedure that involves applying layers of composite resin to specific areas of the teeth. Dentists recommend it for addressing minor cases of dental decay and repairing small cracks and chips in the teeth. The process is completely painless, non-invasive, and usually takes no more than half an hour.

Dental bonding is one of the most versatile dental treatments. For starters, you can get dental bonding to fill cavities caused by tooth decay and stop it from spreading to neighboring teeth. The dentist will remove the decayed parts, disinfect the tooth, and finally seal the void with dental bonding material.
Dentists might also recommend dental bonding for repairing small cracks and chips in the teeth. The bonding material closely mimics the tooth’s natural color and hence makes an excellent filler material for cracks and chips.
Patients with minor stains and discoloration can also benefit from dental bonding treatments. The dental bonding material can hide the discoloration, giving you a flawless smile without using strong bleaching agents.
The first step in the dental bonding process is to determine the suitability of the procedure for you. To do so, Dr. Girmscheid will conduct a series of examinations to determine the extent of dental decay, staining, and the size of the chips and cracks on your tooth. If you qualify for dental bonding, she’ll compare your tooth’s color to a color chart to pick a color that closely resembles your tooth’s color.
Tooth preparation involves applying a mild etching acid to the tooth’s surface. Etching increases the surface area for bonding, thus helping the composite resin stick to the tooth. After etching, Dr. Girmscheid will apply the composite resin to the affected tooth, one layer after the next until the desired result.
With sufficient resin material on the affected teeth, Dr. Girmscheid will carefully sculpt it to match your tooth’s contours. She’ll then remove the excess material and ensure it matches the rest of the teeth. Once satisfied, she’ll use a special blue light to cure the resin material and secure it to the affected tooth.
Dr. Girmscheid will put some final touches on the bonded teeth, polishing them with a rubber cap and polishing paste to make them look more natural. She’ll also ask you to bite into a pad to register your bite. All necessary adjustments will be made at this point, before releasing you with instructions for taking care of your bonded teeth.

No, dental bonding is a painless, non-invasive procedure that doesn’t involve any injections, incisions, or drilling. Patients don't need any anesthetic and won’t require painkillers after the procedure.
Dental bonding and dental filling are essentially the same type of treatment for different purposes. Dental bonding is used for cosmetic reasons to restore chipped, cracked, and discolored teeth. Dental fillings play a restorative role, restoring teeth damaged from tooth decay and physical trauma.
