Teeth Bonding in Sherman Oaks
If you have minor chips, gaps, or tooth discoloration that make you self-conscious, teeth bonding is a simple and effective way to restore your smile. At our Sherman Oaks dental practice, we provide teeth bonding solutions that look completely natural, often in just one appointment. Our approach is designed to give you a beautiful, confident smile without the need for invasive treatments.
What Is Teeth Bonding?
Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure that uses a tooth-colored composite resin to repair or enhance teeth. The resin is carefully shaped and shaded to match your natural tooth color, then bonded securely to the tooth surface.
This technique works well for fixing chips, cracks, discoloration, or small gaps between teeth. Bonding is minimally invasive, meaning very little—if any—healthy tooth structure needs to be removed. It’s a quick, cost-effective alternative to veneers or crowns for people seeking a fast cosmetic fix.
Signs You Might Need Teeth Bonding
Bonding may be a good option if you have:
- Small chips or cracks in your teeth
- Gaps between your teeth you’d like to close
- Teeth with stubborn discoloration that whitening doesn’t fix
- Misshapen or uneven teeth
- Exposed roots from gum recession

The Teeth Bonding Process
Wondering what to expect during bonding? Here’s a breakdown of the typical process:
-
- Consultation & Planning
First, we discuss your cosmetic goals and check the health of your teeth to make sure bonding is appropriate. - Tooth Preparation
The surface of the tooth is lightly roughened, and a conditioning liquid is applied to help the resin stick. - Applying the Resin
We apply a tooth-colored resin and shape it to match your natural tooth contour, adjusting the size and edges for the best appearance. - Curing & Polishing
A special curing light hardens the resin, bonding it securely to the tooth. Finally, we polish the tooth to give it a smooth, shiny, and natural finish.
