Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure that we perform to instantly restore chipped, cracked, discolored or uneven teeth. If your smile suffers from over-calcification, uneven spaces, crowding, misshapen or overlapping teeth, dental bonding may be what you need to revive your smile back to its youthful character. Dental bonding does not require any anesthesia or injections, and unlike a dental crown or porcelain veneer, we do not need to shave down the existing tooth. In addition, dental bonding in Fort Lee, New Jersey, can be achieved in a single visit, making it a truly convenient service. This quick and efficient procedure is especially beneficial for patients looking to enhance their smile without a lengthy treatment timeline, complex restorative work or the removal of natural tooth structure.

The Dental Bonding Process

Our dentist, Dr. Jessica Gorelik, will begin by coating your teeth with an etching solution to prepare the surface of the tooth. We will then apply layers of a soft composite resin material and carefully shape it to beautifully complement the shape, color and opacity of your other teeth. A curing light is then used to harden the bonding material. The final step involves polishing the surface of the tooth to give it a vibrant, natural luster. Bonding materials are highly customizable, ensuring the final result blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Maintaining Your Results

Dental bonding typically lasts ten years and is one of the most conservative cosmetic procedures we offer at 201 Dental Care. Maintaining your dental bonding results is simple with proper oral hygiene, including regular brushing, flossing and routine dental checkups. Avoiding habits like biting nails or chewing on hard objects can also extend the lifespan of your bonding.
