Frequently Asked Questions
How does bonding compare to veneers or crowns?
Bonding and veneers both improve the appearance of your teeth, but they differ in durability and coverage. Bonding is ideal for small, localized fixes — like a chipped tooth or small gap — and is more affordable. Veneers, on the other hand, are custom-made porcelain shells that cover the entire front surface of a tooth for more comprehensive smile makeovers. Crowns are used when a tooth needs full structural support. During your consultation, we’ll discuss which option best fits your needs, goals, and budget.
Is dental bonding painful?
Not at all! One of the biggest advantages of dental bonding is its comfort. Most patients don’t need any anesthesia because the treatment rarely involves removing enamel. You’ll simply relax while your dentist applies, shapes, and polishes the resin. Once finished, your teeth will feel completely natural, and you can eat and speak normally right away.
How long does dental bonding last?
Bonding can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years with proper care. The lifespan depends on where the bonding is placed and your daily habits. Avoid chewing on hard items like pens, ice, or fingernails, which can chip the resin. With good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, many patients enjoy long-lasting results. If small touch-ups are ever needed, they can usually be completed quickly and affordably during a routine visit.
