What is tooth bonding?
Tooth bonding is a simple, conservative way to correct minor cosmetic imperfections in your smile. Using a durable, tooth-colored composite resin, we can sculpt and shape the material directly onto your tooth to mask flaws. At Advanced Dentistry by Design, we provide expert San Jose tooth bonding to give you a beautiful, confident smile, often in a single appointment.
What cosmetic issues can tooth bonding fix?
- NRepair small chips or cracks
- NClose minor gaps between teeth
- NCover up stains or discoloration
- NChange the shape of a tooth
- NMake teeth look longer or more uniform
Can tooth bonding be done in one appointment?
Yes! For most cases, bonding is a quick and efficient procedure. Because we apply the material directly to your tooth in our office, you can walk out with a transformed smile in just one visit without the need for a second appointment or temporary restorations.
How do you achieve a natural-looking result?
Our artistic approach ensures the composite resin is meticulously shaded and shaped to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth, making the restoration virtually undetectable.

Answers to your questions
What is tooth bonding made of?
How long does tooth bonding last?
Does getting tooth bonding hurt?
Should I choose bonding or veneers?
Bonding is ideal for smaller, minor corrections like single chips or small gaps and is more affordable. Veneers are a more comprehensive solution for transforming the entire look of your smile, covering the whole front surface of the tooth and offering greater durability and stain resistance. Our cosmetic dentists in San Jose can help you decide which is best for your goals.
