What Is Composite Bonding?

Composite bonding enhances the appearance of your teeth by using a tooth-colored resin. The process is quick, painless, and typically requires just one visit. It’s a minimally invasive solution for many common dental concerns, including: 

• Repairing chips or cracks
• Closing small gaps between teeth
• Reshaping uneven teeth  
• Improving discoloration that doesn’t respond to whitening 
• Protecting exposed roots from gum recession

Composite bonding is an effective way to achieve a more confident smile with minimal effort and no lengthy recovery time.

If you’re looking for a quick and effective way to enhance your smile, dental bonding might be the perfect solution. At Advanced Dentistry Northwest, we make the entire process smooth, comfortable, and efficient. As always, Dr. Chen tailors the treatment to meet your unique oral health needs and aesthetic goals so your restored smile reflects your vision—and feels great! 

Here's the dental bonding process in three simple steps: 

• Preparation — Dr. Chen begins by gently prepping the tooth. This involves lightly etching the surface of the tooth to create a slightly rougher texture, which helps the composite resin adhere securely. He also carefully selects a resin shade that matches your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking result.
• Application — Once the tooth is prepped, Dr. Chen applies the tooth-colored composite resin to the affected area. The resin is soft and moldable at this stage, allowing him to carefully layer and shape it according to the specific needs of your tooth, whether it's filling in a chip, closing a gap, or reshaping the tooth.
• Shaping and Polishing — After the resin is applied, Dr. Chen meticulously shapes it to match the natural contours of your tooth. Once the ideal shape is achieved, he hardens the resin using a special curing light. Finally, the resin is polished to a smooth finish, blending flawlessly with the rest of your smile.

The procedure is painless, and most patients don't require any anesthesia—another reason why composite bonding is so popular!
