Cosmetic dentistry
One visit, no drill, and the chip is gone.
Bonding is a cosmetic and restorative treatment option. Composite resin materials are bonded directly onto the teeth. This both restores function and provides a more aesthetic appearance.

What It Fixes
Six reasons bonding gets recommended.
Bonding may be recommended for one or more of the following:
A chipped or cracked tooth
The most common reason a family asks, and usually the fastest thing on this list to put right.
Discoloured teeth
To improve the appearance of a tooth whose colour will not come back on its own.
Gaps between teeth
To close a gap, where the answer is not orthodontic and the permanent teeth have already arrived.
A short tooth
To lengthen one or more teeth, so the edge lines up with the ones beside it.
An odd shape
To reshape one or more teeth that came through in a shape the others did not.
An exposed root
To protect an exposed tooth root, which is a restorative job as much as a cosmetic one.
Why Here
Knowing when to leave it alone.
A chipped baby tooth is leaving anyway. A pediatric dentist is the person who will tell you that rather than treat it.
What the consultation decides.
- Whether the tooth in question is a baby tooth.
- Whether the gap will close on its own as the permanent teeth arrive.
- Whether the honest answer is orthodontic rather than cosmetic.
- Whether the chip needs restoring for function, not appearance, in which case it needs doing either way.
This is the best Children’s Dentist office I have ever been to.
