Dental bonding can be both cosmetic and restorative, depending on your needs. When you visit us for dental bonding in Greater Philadelphia, we evaluate your tooth and recommend treatment based on function, appearance, or both.
As a cosmetic treatment, dental bonding improves the look of your teeth. We use a tooth-colored composite resin to reshape uneven edges, close small gaps, cover discoloration, or make teeth appear more balanced. The material blends with your natural enamel, so your smile looks seamless and refreshed.
As a restorative treatment, bonding repairs minor damage. We often use it to repair small chips, worn areas, or mild decay. In these cases, bonding helps strengthen the tooth, protect it from further wear, and restore its natural shape.
One reason many patients choose dental bonding is its simplicity. We typically complete treatment in one visit and preserve more of your natural tooth structure than other options.
