Having flaws in your smile, like chipped or fractured teeth, can be both an aesthetic frustration as well as an oral health risk. In addition to marring your otherwise beautiful grin, broken teeth are structurally compromised. That means they’re more likely to develop additional issues like tooth decay or further injury. Fortunately, Dr. Fitzgerald can conveniently repair your chipped teeth through cosmetic dental bonding. If you have questions or would like more information, feel free to contact our office and we’d be happy to assist you!

What is Cosmetic Dental Bonding?
Cosmetic dental bonding refers to a specific procedure in which Dr. Fitzgerald applies a small amount of composite resin to your injured tooth. She then sculpts it into its ideal shape and hardens it with a special curing light so that it bonds in place. Because the materials are color-matched to your teeth, you end up with a protected tooth that looks and feels completely natural. This treatment is considered non-invasive and typically can be completed in a single visit.
Cosmetic dental bonding is a versatile solution that can be used to address:
- Chipped or cracked teeth.
- Internal or external discoloration.
- Minor gaps between your teeth.
Who is a Good Candidate for Cosmetic Dental Bonding?
Some indicators that cosmetic dental bonding is right for you include:
- Feeling self-conscious about minor problems in your teeth. This treatment is intended for smaller fixes and isn’t always best for dramatic corrections, like a total smile makeover.
- You have good oral hygiene habits. If you’ve developed gum disease, cavities, or other dental concerns, you’ll need to have them cleared up first because they can compromise the results of your cosmetic procedure.
- You’re looking to quickly fix chipped teeth. Dental bonding can be done in a single appointment and lasts for years, making it an efficient and convenient solution.
The best way to determine whether your issue can be mended with cosmetic dental bonding is to schedule a consultation appointment with us. Dr. Fitzgerald will perform an oral examination to verify whether it’s a good fit for you based on her findings.
