COSMETIC DENTAL TEETH BONDING IN BOULDER, CO
QUICK & EFFECTIVE COSMETIC SOLUTIONS
Dr. David Evans believes in using a conservative approach whenever possible when enhancing smiles. One such approach is composite dental bonding. Teeth bonding are used for fixing minor aesthetic problems such as chipped or cracked teeth, any discoloration on the tooth ís surface, or reducing the gaps between teeth. Dental bonding creates more aesthetically pleasing teeth and a brighter smile using composite material or resin, which is bonded to an existing tooth.
ADVANTAGES OF DENTAL TEETH BONDING IN BOULDER, CO
Unlike porcelain veneers or dental crowns, dental bonding removes little if any of the original tooth. Dental bonding is a quick and simple process and is also relatively inexpensive. Composite resins are available in many different shades and can be easily matched to the natural tooth color of the original tooth. This improves the appearance of your teeth without damaging your natural tooth structure.

THE COSMETIC DENTAL TEETH BONDING IN BOULDER, CO PROCESS
Boulder-based cosmetic dentist Dr. David Evans begins by examining and cleaning the tooth that will be bonded. He then rubs the tooth with a mild solution that helps the bonding of the composite resin to the tooth. The composite resin is then applied in several layers (or coats). Each layer is then hardened using a specially designed dental curing light. Once Dr. Evans has placed enough layers of resin on the tooth, the bond is then sculpted for the desired shape and texture.
CARING FOR DENTAL TEETH BONDING
Just like your natural teeth, teeth that contain composite dental bonding should brushed and flossed daily. This is especially important if you are a coffee/tea drinker, or smoke tobacco, all of which can stain dental bonding. It ís also important to know that dental bonding is not quite as durable as porcelain veneers or dental crowns and may need to be retouched or replaced every five to ten years.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I know about dental bonding and its procedure?
Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure where tooth‑colored composite resin is applied, sculpted, and hardened (cured) on the tooth surface to repair chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth or to close small gaps. This minimally invasive process typically requires little to no anesthesia, making it a quick, same‑day treatment option.
Who is a good candidate for dental bonding?
Great candidates include patients looking to fix minor cosmetic issues—like chips, cracks, stains, small gaps, uneven shape, or exposed roots without altering healthy tooth structure. Bonding is ideal for those seeking a fast and affordable smile enhancement.
In what ways does dental bonding differ from veneers and crowns?
Unlike veneers or crowns, which often require shaving down enamel and multiple visits, bonding preserves natural tooth structure, is completed in one session, and costs less. However, bonding isn’t as durable or stain-resistant as veneers or crowns, which may be better options for extensive issues.
How long does dental bonding last and how do I care for it?
With proper care, like avoiding hard/staining foods, not biting non-food objects, and keeping up with brushing, flossing, and regular checkups, bonding typically lasts 3–10 years. Stains can’t be polished out by whitening products; if discoloration occurs, a simple in-office repair is possible.
Is dental bonding safe, and are there any side effects?
Yes, teeth bonding is safe and minimally invasive. Discomfort is rare, and anesthesia usually isn’t required unless there’s deep repair or nerve exposure. Temporary sensitivity to hot or cold may occur but typically subsides within a few days.
