Bonding and contouring can treat chips, gaps, cracks, discoloration, short teeth, teeth shape, and more. Bonding and contouring is a more affordable cosmetic dental treatment that we can usually complete in a single visit. It also doesn't require preparations, like crowns or veneers; however, it is not as strong and usually does not last as many years. Bonding and contouring is best for minor cosmetic flaws so a different cosmetic or restorative procedure may be a better option if you want more extensive improvements.

We can perform this procedure in our office, and you shouldn't need anesthesia. Once ready, Dr. Kussick will apply the bonding material to the desired teeth with the help of one of his assistants. The bonding material has to set before adding more layers. After the layers of composite resin have cured, Dr. Kussick will contour and smooth both the resin and your natural enamel for an even-looking appearance.
