Dental bonding is a popular and versatile dental treatment that can dramatically improve the appearance and function of your teeth. It involves the application of a tooth-colored resin material to the teeth, which is then hardened with a special light, effectively "bonding" the material to the tooth.
This procedure can be used to repair decayed, chipped, fractured or discolored teeth, and can even be used to make teeth appear longer or to change their shape or color. It's a simple, painless procedure that can usually be completed in just one visit to our Mount Airy office.
Dental bonding is an excellent choice for many patients because it offers a quick, affordable, and minimally invasive solution to a wide range of dental problems. Whether you're looking to repair a damaged tooth, improve the appearance of discolored teeth, or even close gaps between your teeth, dental bonding can help. Plus, because the bonding material is matched to the color of your natural teeth, the results look incredibly natural. And with proper care, dental bonding can last for many years, making it a great long-term solution for improving your smile.
Dental bonding is often completed in just one visit to the dentist.

Dental bonding can dramatically improve the appearance of your smile. Whether you're dealing with discolored, chipped, or misshapen teeth, dental bonding can help. The resin used in dental bonding is matched to the color of your natural teeth, ensuring that the results look incredibly natural. Plus, the bonding material can be shaped and polished to match the surrounding teeth, creating a seamless, beautiful smile.
One of the major benefits of dental bonding is that it's a quick and painless procedure. In most cases, dental bonding can be completed in just one visit to our Mount Airy office, meaning you can walk out with a dramatically improved smile in just a few hours. Plus, because the procedure is minimally invasive, there's usually no need for anesthesia, making it a great option for patients who are nervous about dental procedures.
With proper care, the results of dental bonding can last for many years. The bonding material is incredibly durable and is designed to withstand the normal wear and tear of daily life. This makes dental bonding a great long-term solution for improving the appearance and function of your teeth.
The first step in the dental bonding process is preparation. This involves cleaning the tooth and selecting the right shade of bonding material to match your natural teeth. Once the right shade has been selected, the tooth surface is roughened and a conditioning liquid is applied, which helps the bonding material adhere to the tooth.
The next step is the application of the bonding material. The tooth-colored resin is applied to the tooth, and then carefully shaped and smoothed to achieve the desired result. This process requires a high level of skill and precision, and Dr. Laura Mercer is highly experienced in performing dental bonding procedures.
The final step in the dental bonding process is the hardening of the bonding material. Once the resin has been properly shaped, a special light is used to harden the material, effectively "bonding" it to the tooth. This process takes just a few minutes, and once it's complete, any additional shaping or polishing can be done to perfect the appearance of the tooth.
