Dental bonding is a cosmetic treatment that uses a tooth-colored material called
composite resin. This material is applied directly to your tooth and carefully shaped to correct imperfections, restore damage, or simply improve your smile’s appearance.
Bonding is
minimally invasive and very conservative—we preserve your natural tooth structure and create results that blend in beautifully with your existing teeth.
Dental bonding is one of the most versatile and requested cosmetic services we offer. We may recommend bonding to:
• Repair chipped or cracked teeth• Close small gaps or spaces between teeth• Cover deep stains or discoloration that whitening can’t fix
• Reshape teeth that look uneven or worn down
• Improve the overall look and symmetry of your smile• Create white, natural-looking fillings (these are also a type of bonding)
✅ Quick and convenient – often done in one visit
✅ Natural-looking – color-matched to your teeth
✅ No recovery time – you can eat and smile right away
✅ Conservative – keeps your natural tooth intact
✅ Affordable – less costly than veneers or crowns
Whether you’re fixing one tooth or refreshing your whole smile, bonding delivers instant results.
Yes! Tooth-colored fillings—also called composite fillings—are a type of dental bonding. They’re used to repair cavities while preserving your tooth’s natural look and strength. If you’ve ever had a white filling placed, you’ve already experienced one of the most functional forms of dental bonding.
Dr. Cribbs will begin with a thorough exam and a conversation about your smile goals. If bonding is the right option for you, the doctor will color-match the resin to your natural teeth and carefully apply and shape it for a seamless result.
The resin is then hardened with a special light and polished to a natural shine.
You’ll leave the office with a noticeably improved smile—often in under an hour.
