Tooth discoloration or stains

A Simple, Gentle Way to Enhance Your Child's Smile

Cosmetic bonding is typically completed in a single visit and is designed to be comfortable for children.

Step 1: Preparing the Tooth

We gently prepare the tooth so the bonding material can securely adhere while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible.

Step 2: Applying the Composite Resin

A tooth-colored composite resin is carefully placed, sculpted, and shaped to create a natural appearance.

Step 3: Hardening the Material

A specialized curing light strengthens the bonding material, securely attaching it to the tooth.

The restored tooth is polished until it blends smoothly with the surrounding teeth, creating a bright, natural-looking smile.
