PERSONALIZED CARE IN SACRAMENTO
When a small cosmetic repair may be appropriate
Dental bonding uses tooth-colored resin to reshape or repair selected areas of a tooth. It can be considered for some cosmetic concerns and minor damage, but it is not the right solution for every chip or gap. The amount of tooth structure involved and the forces of your bite matter when choosing a restoration.
Shape & spacing
Ask about limited cosmetic changes and when alignment treatment may be a better fit.
Color matching
Consider the shade of surrounding teeth and any whitening plans before bonding.
A chip can have more than one treatment option
Before choosing a cosmetic repair, the tooth needs an examination. Tell us if the chip followed an injury or is accompanied by pain, sensitivity or a change in your bite. The repair depends on the extent and location of damage, not just how the tooth looks.
Plan for appearance and maintenance
Discuss the shade, shape and intended change before treatment. Ask how the bonded area should be cared for, which habits could affect it and what repair may involve in the future. If you are planning whitening, bring it up before selecting the restoration shade.
For a painful or newly broken tooth, see emergency appointment information. For a larger repair, ask about crowns.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Questions about bonding and chipped teeth
Can bonding fix any broken tooth?
No. A larger fracture or weakened tooth may need a different restoration. An examination determines what is appropriate.
Can bonded areas stain or wear?
Bonding can discolor, chip or wear over time. Regular dental care helps monitor the condition of the restoration.
Can bonding replace Invisalign?
Bonding changes tooth shape; it does not move teeth or correct bite relationships. These options address different concerns.
Is bonding always completed in one appointment?
Appointment needs depend on the examination, the number of teeth and the proposed repair. Confirm what is planned when scheduling.
