Tooth Bonding
What is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding, a type of cosmetic procedure, is designed to correct minor imperfections on the front teeth. The procedure is noninvasive and requires little to no anesthesia. Bonding uses composite resin to evenly blend into the teeth to cover stains, discoloration, chips, cracks, and uneven spacing. We even match the shade to your existing teeth.

This was my first experience with Carolina Smile and I was at ease from the beginning to the end of my visit to prepare for a crown. A welcoming and knowledgeable team. Very happy to have found them!

What makes you a good candidate for Dental Bonding?

If you are unhappy with your smile and want a quick, long-lasting way to completely transform your front teeth, bonding is a viable choice. The procedure is done right in our office, quickly and efficiently.
What happens during the procedure for Dental Bonding?
After the initial consultation, your teeth are lightly buffed to help improve the material adhere better to the area. Composite resin is perfectly matched, applied to the tooth, and smoothed into place. With the help of a bright special curing light, the material is hardened into place. Our doctors can then shape and smooth any rough edges, so the bonding mimics your natural teeth.
Dental bonding is a great way to correct minor imperfections without the need for more extensive work. If you would like to come in for dental bonding or would like to learn more about this procedure, call our office today and we will work to schedule an appointment for you.
