In-Depth
What You Need to Know
Bonding is one of the quickest and most affordable cosmetic dental procedures. Unlike veneers or crowns, bonding typically requires no enamel removal and can be completed in a single visit without anesthesia (unless filling a cavity). The dentist applies a conditioning liquid to roughen the tooth surface, then applies and molds the resin, and uses an ultraviolet light to harden it. While not as durable or stain-resistant as porcelain veneers, bonding is an excellent option for minor cosmetic improvements and typically lasts 3-10 years.
