Bonding

Dental Bonding in Fairport, NY

Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure in which a tooth-colored resin is applied, shaped, and hardened onto the tooth's surface. The result is a seamless, polished appearance that blends perfectly with your natural teeth. This minimally invasive treatment can usually be completed in a single visit.

Why Choose Bonding?

Bonding is an excellent option for patients who want to repair small chips or cracks, close minor gaps between teeth, improve the appearance of discolored teeth, or reshape uneven or worn teeth. This treatment provides an affordable, efficient way to enhance your smile without extensive dental work.

Benefits of Dental Bonding

  • Affordability — Bonding is one of the most cost-effective cosmetic dental treatments.
  • Quick Results — Most bonding procedures are completed in under an hour.
  • Noninvasive — Minimal to no enamel removal is required.
  • Natural Appearance — The resin is color-matched to your natural teeth.

The Dental Bonding Process

  1. Consultation and Preparation — Dr. Jonathan Adler will examine your teeth and discuss your cosmetic goals to ensure bonding is the right choice for you.
  2. Tooth Preparation — The tooth's surface is slightly roughened, and a conditioning liquid is applied to help the resin adhere securely.
  3. Application and Shaping — A tooth-colored resin is applied, molded, and shaped to achieve the desired look.
  4. Hardening and Polishing — A special light hardens the resin, and the bonded tooth is polished to blend seamlessly with your smile.

How Long Does Dental Bonding Last?

With proper care, dental bonding can last 5–10 years. To maximize the lifespan of your bonding, avoid biting on hard objects like ice or pens, maintain good oral hygiene, and schedule routine cleanings and exams. For larger or more complex issues, other treatments like Veneers or Crowns may be better suited to your needs.

“Awesome office! Awesome dentist! Awesome staff!”

— Carole S.

“I switched dental providers because of insurance policy needs and I am so incredibly happy!... Dr. Adler did a very comprehensive evaluation of my teeth ... never before completed to that level...and he spotted areas of concern that my former dentist never caught. I am almost 79 years old and I have never experienced a dentist of his competence and skill! I'd recommend him to everyone... young and old!!”
