Dental bonding uses tooth-colored resin to repair minor chips, cracks, gaps, discoloration, or uneven edges. It is a simple cosmetic option that can improve the look of your smile while preserving a natural appearance.
At My Plantation Dentist, Dr. Heidi Finkelstein uses bonding to create subtle improvements that blend with your surrounding teeth.
Repair Small Smile Concerns With Natural-Looking Bonding
Who Needs It?
Bonding may be a good option for patients with small cosmetic concerns, such as a chipped tooth, minor gap, or uneven edge. It can often be completed more quickly than other cosmetic treatments.
Because bonding is not always as durable as porcelain restorations, Dr. Heidi will help you decide whether bonding, veneers, or another treatment best fits your goals.
What Can Dental Bonding Improve?

What’s the Difference Between Bonding and Veneers?
Bonding uses tooth-colored resin that is applied directly to the tooth and shaped by the dentist. Veneers are custom-made porcelain shells that cover the front surface of the teeth.
Bonding may be a good choice for smaller or more temporary improvements, while veneers may be better for patients looking for a longer-lasting or more comprehensive cosmetic change. Dr. Heidi can help you compare both options.
