Teeth Bonding in Encino
Chipped tooth? Small gap? Stubborn stains? Cosmetic bonding offers a fast, non-invasive solution to restore your smile and confidence, often in just one visit. At our Encino dental office, we provide expertly matched, tooth-colored bonding treatments designed to seamlessly blend with your natural enamel while correcting minor imperfections.
What Is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a custom-shaded resin material to improve the appearance of your teeth. Whether you're dealing with chips, cracks, uneven edges, or discoloration, bonding can offer a practical and aesthetic solution without the need for extensive dental work.
The composite resin is carefully shaped and bonded to your tooth surface, then hardened with a curing light for a durable, polished finish. It’s a popular choice for patients seeking quick enhancements without the commitment of veneers or crowns.
When Is Bonding the Right Option?
Bonding is commonly recommended for:
- Chipped or cracked teeth
To restore strength and symmetry after minor damage. - Persistent stains or discoloration
Especially for teeth that don’t respond well to whitening treatments. - Small gaps between teeth
Bonding can close spaces without the need for orthodontics. - Irregular or misshapen teeth
To improve overall contour and proportion. - Exposed tooth roots
Caused by gum recession, bonding can protect and enhance root surfaces.
