Have you ever felt self-conscious about a cracked or chipped front tooth? If so, you owe it to yourself to ask Dr. Habecker about cosmetic bonding.
Cosmetic bonding only takes one appointment. This means you get to spend less time in the dentist’s chair. You also won’t need pain relievers unless we need to fill a tooth.
Here’s what else you need to know.
What to Expect
During your appointment, Dr. Habecker will mix a special resin to match the shade of your teeth. Then, he’ll mold and shape the resin to your tooth.
As one of the final steps, Dr. Habecker will use an LED light to harden the resin in place. He’ll also check your bite to ensure the bonded tooth won’t cause any issues with eating and speaking.
The result is a restored tooth that looks and feels natural.

You may be a candidate for dental bonding if you need to correct small cosmetic issues with your front teeth. Any structural issues will need a filling, crown, or other restorative procedure.
You may be a candidate for dental bonding if you have:
