Dental Bonding
Dental Bonding Cosmetic Dentistry for the Owasso Community
Dental bonding is a quick and painless cosmetic procedure that adheres composite resin to an affected tooth. Dr. Cary shapes the resin while it’s still pliable, solidifying it with a specialized UV light to finalize its form. We use dental bonding to repair chips and cracks, hide tooth discoloration, and change the overall shape of your teeth.

Breaking Down the Benefits of Dental Bonding
Standard Dental Procedure
As one of the most commonly performed procedures in modern dentistry, dental bonding is significantly less intrusive than procedures requiring enamel removal and tooth alteration. Dental bonding attaches a new layer of molded resin to your existing teeth, whereas dental crowns and veneers call for more invasive changes to your smile.
Variety of Use-Cases
Dental bonding is a remarkably versatile dental procedure used to treat an array of cosmetic challenges. Many patients come to us with small chips, cracks, gaps, and other wear and tear they want to fix. However, we occasionally raise their eyebrows when recommending bonding as a discoloration solution. Dental bonding is one of the more cost-effective options to remedy many common, minor imperfections in your smile.
