Repair Chips, Gaps, and Discoloration in a Single Visit

If you’ve been hiding your smile because of a chipped tooth, small gap, or discoloration, dental bonding may be the simple, affordable solution you’re looking for. At Civic Dental, Dr. Dunya Antwan offers expert dental bonding in Vista, CA to quickly restore both the appearance and function of your teeth — often in just one appointment.

Bonding is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses tooth-colored resin to reshape, repair, and enhance your smile. It’s ideal for patients who want noticeable improvements without the time and cost of veneers or crowns.

Dental bonding is a cosmetic treatment in which a composite resin is applied to the tooth, sculpted into shape, and hardened with a special curing light.

What Is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding is a cosmetic treatment in which a composite resin is applied to the tooth, sculpted into shape, and hardened with a special curing light. It blends seamlessly with your natural enamel, making it perfect for fixing:

Small chips or cracks
Minor gaps between teeth
Worn or uneven edges
Discolored teeth resistant to whitening
Misshapen or undersized teeth

Bonding is a great standalone treatment or a complementary procedure in a larger smile makeover plan.

Benefits of Dental Bonding

Patients choose dental bonding because it’s:

Fast – Completed in one visit, with immediate results
Non-invasive – Requires little or no enamel removal
Affordable – Less costly than crowns or veneers
Natural-looking – The resin is color-matched for a seamless blend
Versatile – Can be used on front or back teeth for cosmetic or functional repairs

It’s an ideal entry-level cosmetic treatment or quick fix for aesthetic concerns.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Consultation
Dr. Antwan will examine the tooth and discuss your smile goals. In most cases, no anesthesia is needed unless bonding is used to fill a decayed area.
Tooth Preparation
The surface of the tooth is lightly etched and treated with a conditioning solution to help the resin adhere.
Application & Shaping
The composite resin is applied, sculpted into the desired shape, and hardened with a curing light.
Polishing
Once set, the bonded area is trimmed, shaped, and polished to match the surrounding teeth.

You’ll leave the office with an instantly improved smile and no downtime required.

FAQs: Dental Bonding

How long does dental bonding last?

With proper care, bonding can last 5 to 10 years. Avoiding habits like nail-biting or chewing on hard objects helps extend its life.

Is dental bonding painful?

No. Bonding is typically painless and doesn’t require numbing unless it’s being used to fill a cavity.

Can bonding fix a small gap in my teeth?

Yes. Bonding is a great way to close minor gaps between teeth quickly and affordably.

Does bonding stain over time?

The resin may stain slightly over the years, especially with coffee, wine, or tobacco use. Good hygiene and regular cleanings help maintain its appearance.

Is bonding covered by insurance?

It depends on whether the procedure is cosmetic or restorative. Check your coverage or visit our Patient Information page for more info.
