Dental Bonding in Upland, CA

Dental bonding is a versatile alternative to veneers and can be used as a restorative treatment for teeth that are chipped, cracked, discolored, or misaligned.

Dental bonding at The Dentistree in Upland CA repairing and enhancing teeth with natural-looking composite resin.

The dental bonding procedure starts with gently roughening the surface of the tooth and applying a conditioning liquid to help the material adhere. Once the liquid sets, a tooth-colored resin is applied and precisely shaped to match the natural contour of your tooth. After the resin is hardened with a special curing light, it is carefully trimmed, refined, and polished to achieve a smooth, natural appearance.

Dental bonding is usually completed in just one visit and can make a noticeable improvement in the appearance of your tooth. While it’s a quick and effective solution, the resin material used isn’t as strong as natural enamel, so it can be more susceptible to staining, chipping, or wear over time. Typically, bonding lasts between three to five years before touch-ups or repairs may be needed.
