Composite Bonding
Composite Bonding
Composite bonding uses a tooth-colored resin to repair chips, close small gaps, reshape a tooth, or cover discoloration that whitening alone can't correct. Because the material is applied directly to the tooth and sculpted by hand, it's often a same-visit way to improve a smile without the wait that crowns or veneers can require.
When Bonding Is Typically Considered
- Chips & Small Fractures — Resin rebuilds the missing edge or corner of a tooth.
- Gaps & Spacing — Bonding can visually close minor spaces between teeth.
- Discoloration — Stubborn stains or white spots can be blended and covered.
- Shape & Length — Uneven or worn edges can be built back out to a more balanced shape.
How We Approach It
Dr. Adam Salm, Dr. Jed Kanner, and Dr. Hayley Grandeau each provide general dental care, including composite bonding, as part of a broader restorative and cosmetic treatment plan.
- Digital Shade Matching — Helps select a resin shade that blends with your natural tooth color.
- Intraoral Camera — Lets you see the treatment area on screen as we plan the work.
- Digital Smile Design — When bonding is part of a larger cosmetic plan, this lets you preview the result before treatment begins.
