Dental bonding is a simple yet highly effective cosmetic treatment that uses tooth-colored resin to repair and enhance your smile. At Smile Care Raytown, Dr. Mark Dolson and Dr. Cheolsoo Lee use composite resin materials and advanced bonding techniques to fix chips, close small gaps, reshape teeth, and even hide discoloration.

The Dental Bonding Treatment Process
Consultation and Treatment Planning
Your appointment starts with a warm welcome and a conversation about your goals. Dr. Dolson or Dr. Lee will examine the tooth or teeth in question and help you determine if dental bonding is the right solution. They'll also shade-match the bonding material so that it naturally blends with your smile. At Smile Care Raytown, we take time to understand your preferences, answer questions, and create a bonding plan personalized just for you.
Surface Preparation and Bonding
Once you’re comfortable, we gently roughen the surface of the tooth and apply a conditioning liquid to help the resin bond securely. Then, the tooth-colored composite resin is applied, sculpted into shape, and smoothed to match your natural contours. The careful, artistic work of our dentists ensures that your treated tooth looks and feels just like the real thing. This is accomplished without compromising your comfort or oral health.
Curing and Final Touches
Once the resin is perfectly shaped, we use a special curing light to harden the material instantly. After curing, we’ll make minor adjustments as needed, then polish the tooth for a smooth, glossy finish. Whether you’re repairing a small chip or enhancing the overall appearance of your smile, our careful attention to detail ensures lasting results that complement your facial features and make you feel confident.
