Bonding

Dental bonding uses tooth-colored composite resin to repair chips, close small gaps, reshape a tooth, or cover discoloration. The material is applied directly to the tooth, shaped, and hardened with a curing light, then polished to blend with the surrounding enamel. Because it requires little to no removal of tooth structure, bonding is often considered for smaller cosmetic or structural touch-ups rather than more extensive restorations.

When Patients Consider Bonding

Chips or small fractures — minor damage from an accident or everyday wear.
Gaps or spacing — closing small spaces between teeth without orthodontics.
Discoloration — covering stains that don’t respond to whitening.
Shape or length changes — evening out a tooth that looks shorter or uneven next to its neighbors.

Materials We Use

1st Family Dental uses composite tooth-colored material for fillings and restorations, the same category of resin used in bonding, at every location.
