Tooth Bonding in Vancouver to Repair Chips, Cracks, and Gaps

Small imperfections in your teeth may be distracting, and while you may be interested in improving them, you do not necessarily want or need complicated dental procedures. Dental bonding is the answer to enhancing your smile. Lacamas Dental & Cosmetic Center is pleased to offer tooth bonding in Vancouver, WA, to our valued patients for addressing small issues such as chipping, cracks, or imperfections in the edge.

Cosmetic bonding uses a tooth-colored resin carefully matched to your natural teeth for a result that’s just very subtle and natural. Many patients turn to cosmetic bonding because it significantly improves their smile without making the teeth look unnatural or overdone.

In most instances, dental bonding procedures can take one visit, and this process rarely requires the removal of healthy tooth material. Whether you have chipped a tooth or have observed irregular edges or spaces between your teeth, dental bonding procedures can gently shape your smile while keeping it comfortable and familiar.

How Dental Bonding Repairs Minor Tooth Damage Fast

Dental bonding works by placing a soft resin material directly onto the tooth and shaping it to blend with your natural smile. Once the shape looks right, the material is hardened and polished, leaving the tooth smooth and natural-looking. Because the process is conservative and efficient, it’s often a good choice for patients who want noticeable improvements without a long treatment timeline.

Dental bonding is commonly used to:

  • Repair chipped or cracked teeth
  • Fix small gaps between teeth
  • Improve tooth shape or length
  • Cover discoloration or worn edges
  • Support overall smile repair

Is Dental Bonding Right for You? 

Dental bonding is more ideal for simple cosmetic problems in normally healthy teeth. It is commonly suggested for clients who would like to fix chipped teeth or for aesthetic purposes, but don’t want to undergo the complex procedure of crowns or veneers. During one of your appointments with Dr. Thomas Backus, we can review your teeth and discuss whether bonding aligns with your goals.

Caring for Bonded Teeth 

When properly taken care of, the durability of the bonded teeth can last for a number of years. You can do this by brushing your teeth regularly, avoiding the habit of eating hard objects like ice cubes, going to your scheduled visits to your dentist, and taking care of your teeth by flossing every day. These simple steps can go a long way in maintaining your results and keeping your smile looking natural.
