Dental Bonding in Riverside, IL

What is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding is a non-invasive cosmetic dental procedure that uses tooth-colored composite resin to improve the appearance of your teeth. Also known as composite bonding, this treatment is ideal for fixing minor imperfections such as chips, cracks, gaps, or discoloration. It's a quick and cost-effective alternative to veneers and can typically be completed in just one visit.

The composite resin is carefully shaped and polished to match the surrounding teeth, creating a seamless and natural-looking enhancement. This makes bonding a popular option for those seeking fast and affordable smile restoration.

Benefits of Dental Bonding

  • Quick dental restoration often completed in one appointment

  • Affordable cosmetic dentistry option compared to veneers or crowns

  • Non-invasive procedure with little to no enamel removal

  • Improves tooth appearance by reshaping or whitening

  • Great for repairing chipped or cracked teeth

  • Closes small gaps between teeth for a more uniform smile

Bonding also strengthens weakened tooth structure while enhancing your smile's aesthetic.

Am I a Candidate for Dental Bonding?

You may be a good candidate for dental bonding if you:

  • Have chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth

  • Want to close gaps between teeth

  • Need to reshape short or uneven teeth

  • Are looking for an affordable cosmetic dental option

  • Do not have extensive tooth damage or severe decay

Dental bonding is best for minor cosmetic improvements rather than major structural repairs.

What to Expect from the Dental Bonding Procedure

Dental bonding at Orland Family Dental is a simple and comfortable process:

  1. Tooth preparation – The tooth surface is gently roughened, and a conditioning liquid is applied to enhance bonding.

  2. Composite resin application – A tooth-colored composite material is placed on the tooth and sculpted to the desired shape.

  3. Curing – A special curing light is used to harden the resin.

  4. Finishing touches – The bonded area is shaped, smoothed, and polished for a natural finish.

Most patients do not require anesthesia, and the procedure typically takes 45 to 60 minutes per tooth.
