Can Dental Bonding Fix Chipped Teeth?
Cosmetic dentistry offers multiple options for improving your smile’s appearance. Among these is a treatment called composite bonding. Bonding is a popular cosmetic dental procedure that yields beautiful results instantly. At Your Smile Dental Wellness Center in McDonough, Georgia, we offer composite bonding treatment to members of our local community. Dr. Yvonne Caton-Hospedales answers your frequently asked questions about composite bonding here.
What is composite bonding?
Bonding is a cosmetic treatment that uses composite resin material to conceal imperfections in your teeth. The resin mixture is color-matched to blend in with the color of your teeth for a natural appearance. Bonding can be used for chipped tooth repair, to close small gaps between teeth, to conceal stains, or to alter a tooth’s size or shape to make your smile appear more symmetrical and even.
How does bonding work for chipped tooth repair?
Bonding is a quick, easy, affordable means of repairing minor chips and cracks in your teeth. Dr. Caton-Hospedales will start by tinting the resin mixture to match the color of your teeth and then prep your teeth for treatment. Next, we’ll spread the mixture over the surface of your teeth, covering chips, stains, gaps, and other flaws that mar your smile’s appearance. The resin is then hardened and placed permanently using a special curing light. Lastly, we’ll polish your teeth to give them a smooth, shiny finish.
How long does composite bonding last?
With good oral care, composite bonding can last up to 10 years before needing an upgrade. By brushing and flossing regularly and watching what you eat, you can keep your teeth looking their best for years. We also recommend avoiding hard and sticky foods and stopping habits like chewing on ice and using your teeth like tools to protect the bonding treatment and your teeth.

Is dental bonding reversible?
Yes, the bonding procedure can be reversed, as no tooth enamel is removed or major alterations are made to your teeth before treatment. If you decide to get crowns or veneers in place of bonding, we can remove the resin material and prep your teeth for your new treatment.
What are the benefits of composite bonding treatment?
Bonding is a painless, non-invasive treatment that, for the most part, can be completed in one dental visit. There’s no need for anesthesia or major prep work on your teeth beforehand. Through cosmetic bonding, Dr. Caton-Hospedales can correct multiple tooth flaws in one dental treatment, saving you time and money on various procedures. The process is simple, quick, and affordable and gives you instant results!
Who’s a good candidate for dental bonding treatment?
Anyone interested in correcting minor tooth flaws on their teeth can benefit from bonding treatment. Good oral health is the main requisite for this procedure.
