Small imperfections in your teeth don’t have to hold you back. If you have chips, discoloration, or small gaps, dental bonding offers an easy, affordable way to refresh your smile. At Smiley Dental Group in Columbus, Dr. Holowicki, Dr. Moore, and Dr. Renshaw use gentle cosmetic bonding techniques to restore your natural teeth with results that look and feel completely authentic.
What Is Dental Bonding and How Does It Work?
Tooth bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure that uses a tooth-colored composite resin to improve the look and strength of your teeth. The process is quick, comfortable, and typically completed in a single visit.
During the bonding procedure, your dentist applies a conditioning liquid to the surface of the tooth so the bonding material can adhere properly. Then, the resin material is carefully shaped to match the color of your natural teeth and hardened with a special dental light. The result is a smooth, durable restoration that blends beautifully with your smile.
What Dental Bonding Can Fix
Cosmetic bonding is a versatile way to correct minor imperfections without altering your natural tooth structure. It can:
- Repair a chipped tooth or smooth sharp edges
- Close small gaps between front teeth
- Cover tooth discoloration or stains that resist whitening
- Reshape or lengthen misshapen teeth
- Protect exposed tooth enamel from wear or mild tooth decay
For more extensive cosmetic concerns, other cosmetic dentistry options like porcelain veneers or dental crowns may be recommended.

With proper care, your bonded teeth can last 5–10 years.
Caring for Your Bonded Teeth
Maintaining good oral hygiene keeps your bonding results beautiful. Brush twice daily, floss carefully, and avoid hard objects or chewing ice to prevent tooth damage. Routine dental visits help ensure your bonded teeth stay strong and stain-free.
Regular cleanings and checkups also allow us to monitor your bonding and make touch-ups when needed.
