A minimally invasive, same-day solution for chips, gaps, stains, and minor cosmetic imperfections.
(5-star rating from our smiling customers.)
Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure in which tooth-colored composite resin is applied directly to a tooth and sculpted to correct chips, cracks, discoloration, gaps, or irregular shape. The material is hardened in place using a curing light and polished to match the surrounding enamel.
Bonding is one of the least invasive cosmetic procedures available. In most cases no anesthesia is required, no healthy tooth structure is removed, and the entire procedure is completed in a single appointment. It is the fastest way to address minor cosmetic flaws with immediate visible results.

We select a composite resin shade that closely matches the color of your natural teeth. This ensures the bonding material blends seamlessly and is undetectable once in place.

The tooth surface is lightly etched to create a texture that allows the bonding material to adhere properly. No significant tooth structure is removed. Anesthesia is rarely needed unless the bonding is being placed over a decayed area.

The composite resin is applied to the tooth and carefully sculpted by hand to the correct shape. This is the most technique-sensitive step and requires a skilled eye for proportion and symmetry.

A curing light hardens the resin in seconds. The bonded tooth is then shaped and polished until it matches the texture and sheen of the surrounding teeth. The whole procedure takes 30 to 60 minutes per tooth.
Dental bonding in Manhattan typically ranges from $300 to $700 per tooth. Multiple teeth can often be treated in the same appointment. Bonding is generally considered cosmetic and is not covered by dental insurance unless it is being used to repair a fractured tooth with a functional component. CareCredit is accepted and our team will clarify your coverage at the consultation.

With proper care, dental bonding typically lasts 5 to 10 years. Avoid biting hard objects like ice or pens and schedule regular cleanings. The composite can be refreshed or replaced when it shows wear.
No. In most cases bonding requires no anesthesia at all. The tooth surface is lightly etched but no drilling or significant preparation is involved. Most patients describe the procedure as completely comfortable from start to finish.
Bonding works best for minor to moderate chips, cracks, and gaps. For more significant damage, a porcelain veneer or crown may be more appropriate and longer lasting. Your cosmetic specialist will advise the right option at your consultation.
Composite resin is more porous than porcelain and can stain over time from coffee, tea, wine, and tobacco. Limiting these and attending regular professional cleanings helps maintain the color and appearance of the bonded teeth.

For more dramatic or comprehensive changes, veneers offer longer-lasting results and greater stain resistance than composite bonding. Ask about the comparison at your consultation.

Bonding and whitening are frequently combined. Whitening first establishes your base shade, then bonding matches to that brighter baseline for a seamless result.

For patients with multiple cosmetic concerns, a coordinated smile makeover plan incorporating bonding alongside other procedures delivers a more complete and intentional result.
