Cosmetic Bonding

Planned opening 2027. We are not yet treating patients. These guides are educational; availability and treatment details require confirmation.

Repair small chips or refine tooth edges with tooth-colored composite resin, after checking your bite and the change you want.

Whole Tooth Dental uses cosmetic bonding to make focused changes while preserving sound tooth structure where possible.

What it is, and why you might discuss it

  • Layered composite resin can rebuild small chips and reshape uneven edges.
  • Bonding may close small gaps when tooth proportions and your bite allow.

How we assess whether it suits you

  • Examine the tooth for decay or deeper damage.
  • Check bite forces, grinding and available enamel.
  • Discuss shade, shape and expectations for maintenance.

What the process involves

  1. 01Agree on the intended shape and color.
  2. 02Prepare the surface with minimal drilling when appropriate.
  3. 03Apply, shape and harden layers of composite resin.
  4. 04Polish the repair and check how your teeth meet.

Alternatives worth asking about

Benefits

  • Can preserve much of the existing tooth.
  • Creates a visible change during treatment.
  • May be repaired if a small area chips.

Risks

  • Resin can stain, chip or wear.
  • The tooth may feel temporarily sensitive.

Limitations

  • Composite resin is not plastic-free.
  • Large gaps or bite problems may need another approach.
  • Color and polish require ongoing maintenance.

Timing

The number of teeth and complexity determine the schedule. Your dentist confirms whether anesthesia or additional preparation is needed.

Recovery

Follow advice about chewing and cleaning. Report an edge that feels rough or a bite that feels uneven.
