Dental Bonding in Plano, TX
A conservative repair for small cosmetic concerns
Dental bonding uses tooth-colored composite material to repair or reshape a tooth. It is often used for small chips, minor gaps, worn edges, or areas where a tooth needs a subtle cosmetic improvement.
When bonding may help
- Small chips or rough edges
- Minor gaps between teeth
- Tooth discoloration in a small area
- Slightly uneven tooth shape
- A quick cosmetic touch-up when a veneer or crown is not needed
How dental bonding works
Dr. Baker prepares the tooth surface, applies composite material, shapes it to match the tooth, and hardens it with a curing light. The goal is to restore the tooth in a way that blends with your natural smile.
Bonding vs. veneers or crowns
Bonding is often more conservative than a veneer or crown, but it may not be the right choice for every tooth. Larger fractures, bite pressure, heavy wear, or extensive damage may require a stronger restoration. Dr. Baker will explain which option fits your tooth and goals.
