About Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is a modern solution to small tooth chips and cracks. The process is simple and does not usually require numbing. The dentist selects bonding material that matches your smile and will easily blend in. The entire process takes 30-45 minutes.
First, the dentist applies tooth-colored resin to the affected tooth. He then uses a curating light to harden the resin. The next step is to shape the hardened resin using a dental tool so that it seamlessly suits your smile.
By the end, it looks like you never had a damaged tooth!

Benefits of Bonding
There are many important benefits that dental bonding in Chattanooga can provide for your smile. For one, it’s minimally invasive, which means it preserves most of your natural tooth structure. Furthermore, bonding offers natural-looking results to restore the look of your smile. Addressing your tooth damage will prevent worsening issues and improve your tooth’s function as well.
The bonding process is quicker than many other cosmetic solutions, allowing you to restore your tooth in one day. Compared to veneers or some other services, bonding is very affordable and cost-effective as well. We often recommend it for smaller spaces, and it’s suitable for patients of all ages.
The Price of Tooth Bonding
The dental bonding procedure is customized for your unique tooth needs. How much it will cost depends on several considerations including:
- Tooth location
- Extent of damage
- Exact material used
- How many teeth are done
- Dental insurance coverage
- And more
Overall, though, bonding is one of the most affordable cosmetic dental services for treating chipped or cracked teeth. Many patients are surprised by how cost-effective it is, especially compared to veneers.

Caring for The Tooth After Bonding
While tooth bonding is a great solution to repair minor damage, it is not as long-lasting as veneers or crowns. That means you must take a few steps to help it last as long as possible. For one, stick with a diligent dental hygiene routine, brushing and flossing each day. Use a mouthguard at night if you suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding) to protect the bonding. Note that even with good care, you may have to get a bonding touchup after some years. Dr. Harry Suekert will monitor your bonding during your dental exams and advise you when any touch up is needed.

FAQ's About Dental Bonding
Why should I consider tooth bonding in Chattanooga?
Bonding is a fast, affordable option to repair a damaged tooth and restore your smile. We can repair the tooth in one visit, giving you a renewed, natural look.
How long does bonding last?
On average, bonding lasts 5 years. However, it can last less time on back teeth which take more wear and tear from eating. Depending on the tooth in question and the type of damage, we may recommend veneers instead.
When can I eat after my bonding appointment?
You can eat immediately after getting tooth bonding in Chattanooga. However, note that you may have some extra sensitivity to hot or cold after the appointment. Therefore, we recommend eating mild-temperature foods for the first meal.
Does composite bonding stain?
Just like natural teeth, composite bonding can sustain stains eventually. However, you can take a few steps to keep it as white as possible, including reducing the consumption of staining foods and drinks (coffee, tea, etc). Using a straw can also help to limit contact with the bonding. Additionally, follow diligent dental cleanings to keep your bonding as bright and healthy as possible.
