Dental bonding
Bonding uses tooth-colored material to change or repair part of a tooth. It may be considered for selected small chips or cosmetic concerns after the tooth and bite are assessed.
Understand your options
Ask what the examination shows and why a treatment is recommended.
Discuss your priorities
Explain your goals, concerns and previous dental experiences.
Plan your next step
Discuss alternatives, expected care and individualized costs.
Know what to expect
Ask about maintenance, follow-up and when to contact the practice.
Is bonding the same as a veneer? They are different approaches. The material, coverage and preparation can differ; an examination helps determine what fits your goals.

Start with the reason for the change
Tell the dentist whether your main concern is appearance, a sharp edge or a recent injury. A cosmetic repair cannot replace evaluation of new pain or trauma. Ask how bonding compares with leaving the tooth alone, reshaping, a veneer or a crown in your situation.
