Dental Bonding in Topeka

Dental bonding is a simple and effective cosmetic treatment that improves the appearance of your teeth using a tooth-colored composite resin. The material is carefully shaped and bonded to your natural tooth to correct imperfections and create a brighter, more polished smile. Because bonding requires little to no removal of tooth structure, it is one of the most conservative cosmetic options available.

Bonding can address a wide range of cosmetic concerns, including:

• Chips or small cracks
• Gaps between teeth
• Discoloration or a faded spot
• Misshapen or uneven teeth
• Teeth that appear short or worn

The composite resin comes in multiple shades, allowing us to match your natural enamel for a seamless finish.

The bonding process is simple and typically completed in a single visit:

• The tooth surface is lightly prepared to help the material adhere.
• Composite resin is applied, shaped, and sculpted to the desired look.
• A special curing light hardens the material.
• Final adjustments are made to polish and refine the restoration.

Because bonding is minimally invasive, most patients do not need anesthesia.

Aesthetic contouring is often paired with bonding to further refine your smile. This technique involves gently reshaping the edges of the teeth to improve symmetry and alignment. It can correct:

• Minor chips
• Irregular or uneven tooth edges
• Slight crookedness
• Small overlaps or positioning concerns

For patients who want to improve the shape of their teeth without braces, crowns, or veneers, aesthetic contouring offers a fast and conservative alternative.
