Dental bonding is used to sculpt the shape of your teeth. A special composite resin is first applied to the structure of a tooth by our dentist. This flexible material is tooth colored to match your natural teeth or selected in a brighter shade if you want a whitened look. Once adhered to the tooth, our dentist and team shape and mold the resin to correct flaws or imperfections. After the resin hardens and bonds to the tooth, we will trim and polish its surface to give it the most pleasing shape and appearance.

Many patients who opt to have dental bonding are able to correct:

  • Chipped teeth
  • Gapped teeth
  • Uneven lines
  • Sharp edges

This easy cosmetic treatment typically takes one dental appointment to complete and usually requires no preparation beforehand, which helps make your visit quick and convenient. As a conventional cosmetic option, dental bonding is an excellent way to a bright and beautiful new smile.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Bonding in Woodinville

What is dental bonding used for?

Dental bonding is a versatile cosmetic treatment used to repair chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth, close small gaps between teeth, reshape irregular teeth, and protect exposed tooth roots. At Oasis Family Dentistry, we use tooth-colored composite resin that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.

How long does the dental bonding procedure take?

Dental bonding can typically be completed in a single visit lasting 30 to 60 minutes per tooth. No anesthesia is usually needed unless the bonding is being used to fill a cavity or repair a tooth near the nerve.

How long does dental bonding last?

With proper care, dental bonding typically lasts 5 to 10 years before it may need to be touched up or replaced. Avoiding habits like biting fingernails, chewing on ice, or biting hard objects helps extend the life of your bonding.

Is dental bonding better than veneers?

Both are excellent options but serve different purposes. Dental bonding is less expensive, requires little to no tooth preparation, and is ideal for minor corrections. Porcelain veneers offer greater durability and stain resistance and are better suited for more dramatic smile transformations. Our team will help you choose the right option for your goals.

Will dental bonding stain over time?

Composite resin is more susceptible to staining than natural tooth enamel or porcelain. Limiting coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco can help maintain the brightness of your bonded teeth. Professional teeth whitening should be done before bonding since the resin cannot be whitened afterward.

Does dental bonding require any special care?

Bonded teeth do not require special care beyond good oral hygiene. Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and attend your scheduled dental cleanings and exams at Oasis Family Dentistry. Your dentist will check the condition of your bonding at each visit.

How much does dental bonding cost in Woodinville?

Dental bonding is one of the most affordable cosmetic dental procedures available. Cost depends on the number of teeth treated and the extent of work needed. Call Oasis Family Dentistry at (425) 486-9245 to learn more about our pricing and financial options.
