What Is Dental Bonding?
Chipped a tooth? Have a small gap that bugs you in every photo? At Bentley Dental, we offer quick, natural-looking dental bonding that repairs minor flaws in just one visit—so you can stop thinking about your teeth and start showing them off.
Subtle fixes. Bold confidence.
Dental bonding uses a tooth-colored resin material to correct minor imperfections—like chips, cracks, uneven edges, or discoloration. The material is sculpted directly onto your tooth and hardened with a special light, blending seamlessly with your natural smile.
When Is Bonding a Good Option?
Dental bonding is perfect for:
Small chips or cracks
Uneven or worn edges
Minor gaps between teeth
Discolored or stained areas
Misshaped teeth
Fast cosmetic enhancement without veneers
It’s one of the quickest and most affordable ways to improve your smile—with no drilling, no downtime, and no anesthesia needed for most cases.

What to Expect During the Bonding Process
1. Consultation & Planning
We examine your tooth and discuss what you want to improve. Bonding is ideal for patients looking for fast, cosmetic fixes.
2. Shade Matching
We select a resin color that perfectly matches your surrounding teeth for a seamless blend.
3. Tooth Preparation
In most cases, there’s no drilling or anesthesia required. We lightly roughen the tooth surface to help the bonding adhere.
4. Sculpting & Shaping
The resin is applied, shaped to perfection, and adjusted for a natural look and feel.
5. Hardening & Polishing
A special light hardens the material, and we polish the tooth to match your natural enamel’s shine.
How Long Does Dental Bonding Last?
With good care, bonding typically lasts 5–10 years. Avoid biting hard objects or chewing ice, and maintain regular cleanings to maximize longevity.
We’ll let you know if/when touch-ups are needed—most patients simply incorporate bonding into their routine checkups.
A Small Change Can Make a Big Difference
Most bonding procedures take less than 60 minutes—and the impact can be massive. One chip, one gap, or one misshaped edge can change the way you feel in every photo, meeting, or smile.
