Teeth Bonding in Beverly Hills
If you’re facing issues like a chipped tooth, small gaps between teeth, or persistent discoloration, teeth bonding offers a swift and effective way to restore your smile and boost your confidence. At our Beverly Hills dental office, we focus on delivering natural-looking results, often completing the entire treatment in just one visit.
What Is Teeth Bonding?
Teeth bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure where a tooth-colored resin material is carefully applied to damaged or imperfect areas of your teeth. This technique is especially useful for fixing minor chips, cracks, or gaps. The resin is expertly matched to the shade of your natural teeth, providing a seamless and attractive finish. Because it is minimally invasive, bonding requires little to no removal of existing tooth structure.
This method offers a simple alternative to more extensive treatments like crowns or veneers, making it ideal for quick cosmetic fixes such as covering stains, filling gaps, or repairing chips.

How Does the Bonding Process Work?
The procedure is straightforward and includes these steps:
- Consultation: We discuss your concerns and examine your teeth to confirm bonding is the best option.
- Tooth preparation: The tooth surface is lightly roughened and treated with a special solution to help the resin bond firmly.
- Application and shaping: The resin is applied and sculpted to blend smoothly with your natural tooth contours.
- Curing: A curing light hardens the resin quickly, securing it to your tooth.
- Finishing touches: The bonded area is polished to ensure a smooth, natural finish.
Typically, each tooth takes about 30 to 60 minutes, so you can leave our Beverly Hills clinic with a noticeably improved smile after just one appointment.
