What is Cosmetic Dental Bonding?
Cosmetic bonding is a great alternative to more complex, invasive treatments. If you’re looking to hide minor flaws found on your teeth, such as chips, cracks, or stains, cosmetic bonding can quickly transform your smile. Using composite resin, the same which is used for tooth-colored fillings, Dr. Tetelman will match it in a way that perfectly blends in with your smile, giving you a uniform, complete look once it hardens into place. The entire treatment is completed in just one visit.
Advantages of Cosmetic Dental Bonding
Apart from the fact that cosmetic bonding is much less invasive than its counterpart, porcelain veneers, there are other great advantages to this type of cosmetic service. Not only is it quick and easy, but it’s virtually painless. In fact, most patients who seek cosmetic bonding never need local anesthesia! Some of the additional advantages include:
- More affordable
- Completed in one visit versus two or more
- Requires little to no altering to the natural structure of your teeth
- Improved appearance and boost in confidence level
- Versatile treatment options for covering various cosmetic flaws
Who is a Good Candidate for Dental Bonding?
Individuals who are looking to hide minor imperfections, want a more affordable solution, and who desire a new and improved smile in less time are ideal candidates for cosmetic bonding. If you have any of the following, consider yourself eligible:
- Teeth that are chipped or cracked
- Small gaps between your teeth
- Small teeth you want to enhance

Maintenance of Cosmetic Dental Bonding
It’s important that if you want the resin to remain perfectly blended to match the rest of your smile, you properly care for and maintain your cosmetic bonding. No one wants to invest in a transformative procedure only to watch it diminish due to bad habits. To keep your smile looking its best, simply:
- Avoid consuming dark-colored, stain-causing foods and beverages (i.e. coffee, tea, soda, red wine, berries, highly-acidic fruits and juices)
- Stop smoking or using tobacco products
- Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day for two minutes, flossing at least once a day, and using an ADA-approved mouthwash
- Keep your regularly scheduled dental checkups and cleanings with your dentist in Lenox Hill
