What is Teeth Bonding?

Teeth bonding is a versatile cosmetic procedure that uses a tooth-colored resin to repair and enhance your teeth. This resin is carefully applied, sculpted, and hardened using a special light to create a durable and natural-looking result.

Teeth bonding is commonly used to:

  • Repair chips or cracks in teeth
  • Close small gaps between teeth
  • Improve the appearance of discolored or stained teeth
  • Reshape uneven or misshapen teeth
  • Protect exposed tooth roots caused by gum recession

The process is minimally invasive, often requiring no anesthesia, and can typically be completed in just one visit to our Ventura office.
