About Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is a versatile, minimally invasive cosmetic dental procedure performed in a dental surgery to repair and enhance the appearance of teeth. It involves the application of a tooth-colored composite resin material to the tooth's surface, which is then sculpted, hardened with a special curing light, and polished. This procedure is an excellent solution for fixing chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth, closing small gaps, reshaping teeth, and protecting exposed tooth roots. As a single-visit treatment that typically requires little to no anesthesia, dental bonding is a popular and cost-effective way to achieve a brighter, more uniform smile without the need for extensive enamel removal.

PATIENT REVIEW

Rohan Gupta, a 28-year-old software engineer,...

Rohan Gupta, a 28-year-old software engineer, had always been self-conscious about a small, but noticeable, chip on his front left incisor from a childhood bicycle accident. While it didn't cause pain, he found himself covering his mouth when laughing or smiling in photos, especially during important client meetings. During a routine check-up, his dentist, Dr. Mehta, noticed Rohan's hesitation and asked about it. After explaining the minimal, non-invasive nature of dental bonding, Dr. Mehta recommended it as a perfect solution to restore the tooth's shape and boost Rohan's confidence. The 45-minute procedure was completely painless; Dr. Mehta carefully applied, shaped, and hardened the tooth-colored resin. Rohan felt only mild pressure. Recovery was immediate, he ate carefully for a few hours as the bonding fully set. The outcome was transformative; the chip was seamlessly gone. Emotionally, Rohan moved from years of subconscious embarrassment to feeling whole and confident, freely sharing his smile without a second thought.
