Dental Bonding in Sherman Oaks
What Is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure where we apply a tooth-colored composite resin to fix imperfections like chips, gaps, or discoloration. It’s sculpted directly onto your natural tooth, hardened with a special curing light, and polished to blend seamlessly with your smile.
Bonding is a great solution for patients who want subtle but noticeable improvements without the cost or commitment of veneers or crowns.

How Our Dental Bonding Process Works
Smile Evaluation
We assess your smile and help determine if bonding is the best option or if you’d benefit from veneers or orthodontics.
Tooth Preparation
We gently etch the tooth surface and apply a conditioning liquid to help the bonding material adhere.
Sculpting & Curing
Composite resin is shaped to match your tooth and hardened using a curing light.

We polish the bonded tooth for a natural shine and check the bite for comfort.
