Dental Bonding in Corbin, KY
Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure that uses tooth-colored resin to restore the appearance of chipped, gapped or discolored teeth. The tooth is lightly etched and prepped, and the dentist applies the bonding material. After carefully shaping it for a natural look, it is hardened with a special curing light and polished. The entire process is typically completed in one visit, with no anesthesia needed in most cases. It’s efficient and cost-effective, blending beautifully with your natural smile.

Process
Consultation: We begin with a thorough exam to ensure bonding is the right option for your cosmetic or functional needs.
Shade Matching: We select a resin color that closely matches your natural tooth for a seamless, natural appearance.
Tooth Preparation: The surface of your tooth is gently roughened, and a conditioning liquid is applied to help the bonding material adhere properly.
Bonding Application: A tooth-colored composite resin is carefully applied, shaped and sculpted to correct chips, close gaps or cover stains.

Next Steps
Curing the Resin: We use a high-intensity curing light to harden the resin quickly and securely.
Final Shaping and Polishing: After the resin is fully set, we refine the shape and polish the bonded area to match the sheen of your natural teeth.
