To find out if you’re a good candidate for dental bonding at Smile Dental, your dentist reviews your oral health history and examines your teeth and gums.

Before dental bonding, your dentist uses a shade guide to pick a composite resin that perfectly matches your natural teeth’s color. They roughen the surface of your teeth before applying a special adhesive that helps bonding agents stick to the teeth. Your provider then applies the resins and molds and shapes each tooth to perfect its appearance.
