Dental bonding in Napa, CA

What is dental bonding?

Dental bonding uses a tooth-colored composite resin that's shaped directly on your tooth and hardened with a light. At Bevan Dental, dental bonding in Napa is a simple, affordable way to fix small imperfections.

What bonding can fix

• Chipped or cracked teeth
• Small gaps between teeth
• Uneven or rough edges
• Small stains or spots
• Exposed, sensitive roots

What to expect

1. Shade matching. We pick a composite shade that blends with your teeth.
2. Shaping. We apply and sculpt the resin directly on the tooth.
3. Setting. A special light hardens it.
4. Polishing. We polish it to match the shine of your natural teeth.

Little or no tooth needs to be removed, so most bonding is done without numbing.

Bonding or veneers?

Bonding is quicker and more affordable for small fixes. Veneers last longer and resist stains better, which makes them better for bigger changes. Compare them in Veneers or bonding: Which is right for your smile?

Keeping it looking fresh

Composite can stain and wear over time, so we polish and touch it up at your regular visits. Bonding doesn't whiten, so if you'd like brighter teeth, start with teeth whitening.

“I'd rather tell you the truth than talk you into something. If you're nervous, we slow down and keep things gentle. If something can wait, I'll tell you it can wait. After more than 25 years, I've learned that being honest and gentle is its own kind of warmth.”
