Cosmetic Dentistry
Tooth-colored composite resin sculpted directly onto your teeth. One visit. No laboratory wait. Immediate transformation.
The Approach
Dental bonding is among the most conservative treatments in cosmetic dentistry. Dr. Forbes applies composite resin directly to the tooth surface, sculpting and shaping it by hand to correct chips, cracks, gaps, and discoloration. No impressions. No temporaries. No second appointment.
The artistry is in the layering. Multiple shades and translucencies are built up to replicate the depth and character of natural enamel. The goal is a restoration that disappears into the surrounding tooth structure.
A single chipped or discolored tooth can dominate your entire smile. Dental bonding addresses that one detail so everything else can be seen the way it should be.
What Bonding Corrects
Dental bonding is ideal for correcting small chips and cracks, closing minor gaps between teeth, reshaping teeth that appear pointy or uneven, covering areas of discoloration, and protecting exposed root surfaces. For more extensive corrections, porcelain veneers may provide a more durable solution.

The Process
A focused procedure completed in one visit. No shortcuts. No compromise on detail.
Dr. Forbes selects composite resin shades that match the exact color and translucency of your natural teeth. Multiple shades may be used within a single restoration for the most realistic result.
The tooth surface is gently etched and a conditioning liquid is applied. This creates a texture that allows the composite resin to bond securely to the enamel. No anesthesia is required in most cases.
Composite resin is applied in thin layers, each one sculpted by hand to build the correct shape, contour, and surface texture. This layering technique replicates the natural characteristics of tooth enamel.
Each layer is hardened using a high-intensity curing light. Once the final shape is achieved, Dr. Forbes trims, contours, and polishes the restoration until it is indistinguishable from the surrounding tooth.

Why Dental Bonding
Dental bonding requires removing the least amount of enamel of any cosmetic restoration. The natural structure and health of your tooth are preserved.
The entire procedure is completed in one appointment. There is no laboratory fabrication, no temporaries, and no return visit for placement.
Bonding is one of the most affordable cosmetic dentistry options. It provides meaningful improvement at a lower investment than crowns or veneers.
With careful shade matching and layered application, bonded composite is virtually invisible. The restoration blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Because minimal enamel is removed, dental bonding is one of the few cosmetic treatments that is largely reversible if your needs change in the future.
You walk out of the appointment with your correction complete. There is no waiting period and no adjustment time.
