A simple way to restore your natural smile.

Resin bonding, also known as dental bonding, is a cosmetic dentistry treatment that repairs minor chips, cracks, discoloration, and small gaps between your teeth. During this procedure, Dr. Throop applies a tooth-colored composite resin directly onto the tooth’s surface to restore its natural appearance and strength.

The bonding material is then shaped, hardened, and polished to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.

This quick and cost-effective treatment can dramatically enhance your smile in just one visit giving you the confidence to show your teeth again.

FAQ About Resin Bonding

Your top questions answered by Dr. Throop.

  • How long does dental bonding last?

    With proper brushing and care, bonded teeth can last between five and ten years before minor touch-ups are needed.

  • Is resin bonding painful?

    No. The procedure is typically painless and doesn’t require anesthesia unless decay or damage extends deeper into the tooth’s structure.

  • Can bonded teeth stain?

    While the resin is somewhat stain resistant, it’s best to limit coffee, tea, and tobacco to maintain your natural appearance.

  • Can dental bonding fix large cracks or decay?

    For severe cracks or tooth decay, other restorative work like veneers or crowns may be more appropriate. Dr. Throop will recommend the best treatment after evaluating your teeth.
