Tooth Bonding – #1 Rated Meridian Cosmetic Dentist
Is tooth bonding the best option for you?
After you’ve suffered a chipped, broken, or discolored tooth, one of the options that you have for repairing your tooth is bonding.
Tooth bonding, an alternative to veneers and sometimes called dental bonding, is the process through which your Meridian cosmetic dentist applies a composite resin over the broken or damaged area of your tooth.
Discolored or damaged teeth can make you feel self-conscious about your smile. Tooth bonding can make a chipped tooth look complete and healthy again without looking artificial.
What is tooth bonding?
Dental bonding is a really versatile treatment that can both restore the function of your teeth and the appearance of your teeth. Our doctors at Riverbend Family Dental will use a composite resin to restore the strength and appearance of your teeth.
What can bonding repair?
Tooth bonding can repair your smile fast!
- Broken Teeth
- Chipped Teeth
- Discolored Teeth
- Lengthen Teeth
- Change the Shape of Teeth
- Repair Decay

- Close the Gaps Between Teeth
During an initial consultation, your dentist will work closely with you to determine whether or not tooth bonding will be an effective repair for your chipped, discolored, or damaged tooth. Our doctors at Riverbend Family Dental will perform a thorough examination to decide whether or not tooth bonding is the appropriate treatment for your long-term oral health goals. If you are in need of a stronger or more permanent repair, your dentist may suggest that you consider veneers or a crown.
Benefits of dental bonding
Tooth bonding can make an immediate difference in your smile.
- Restore chipped or cracked teeth
- More cost-effective than veneers
- Enhance the shape and color of your teeth
- Less tooth preparation and enamel loss than veneers
Although tooth bonding is generally an inexpensive cosmetic dentistry procedure, and, unlike veneers or crowns, dental bonding does not require the removal of enamel, it is not as long-lasting as other cosmetic procedures.
It is important to note that bonding is not a sufficient treatment for people who have more serious tooth damage.
How is tooth bonding performed?
Tooth bonding is a simple, fast procedure. Our doctors can generally complete your bonding in one 30-minute visit. During an initial consultation, your dentist will match the shade of your teeth so that the composite resin used will blend in with your teeth. Our Meridian dental team will then prepare your tooth by etching it and applying a liquid that will help the bonding material adhere to your tooth. Once the material hardens, the dentist will shape the tooth.
How much does bonding cost?
Bonding is one of the most cost-effective cosmetic and restorative procedures you can get. However, we are proud to offer you financing options so that you can get the treatment you need at a price you can afford.
