What is Direct Bonding?

Direct bonding addresses many of the same issues as veneers, but for a fraction of the price. For this cost-effective service, our team will apply color-matched composite resin directly to your enamel to repair or cover cosmetic concerns. This is hardened in place with a special ultraviolet curing light, causing it to bond with your enamel.

The result is a beautiful repair that can help improve your appearance and boost your confidence, and can last 5 to 10+ years when cared for correctly.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Direct Bonding?

This is a versatile solution that can be used to address one or several aesthetic issues, such as chips, cracks, stains that can’t be brushed away, mild gaps, and somewhat misshapen teeth.

However, it requires sufficient healthy enamel to bond to, so those with more severe dental damage or decay might not be considered good candidates. Before proceeding, our team will examine your teeth and gums, address any pre-existing concerns such as cavities or gum disease, and provide appropriate treatment recommendations based on our findings to help enhance your smile.

The Benefits of Direct Bonding

There are several excellent reasons to improve your appearance with direct bonding, including:

  • Lifelike results. The materials are carefully customized to match the shade of your enamel for beautiful, realistic results.
  • Long-lasting solution. This often lasts 10+ years with proper care.
  • Easy maintenance. Keeping your repair in good shape can be as simple as brushing and flossing twice daily and visiting our team for an exam and cleaning every 6 months.
  • Versatile solution. One or several problems can be treated with a single procedure.
  • Improved confidence. Upgrading your grin can boost your self-esteem, leading to better professional achievements, deeper relationships, and a more engaging social calendar.
