Cosmetic dentistry
Cosmetic bonding.
Chipped a tooth? Bonding repairs chips, closes small gaps, and evens out worn or uneven edges with tooth-colored resin sculpted right onto the tooth, usually in a single visit with little or no drilling. It's the most conservative fix in cosmetic dentistry, and often the most satisfying for its size.

Tiny tweaks, noticeable results.
It's the same composite resin we use in tooth-colored fillings, shaded to match your enamel and polished until it blends right into the tooth. In skilled hands it can rebuild a chipped corner, close a gap between front teeth, cover a stubborn stain, or reshape a tooth that's always bothered you.
The honest tradeoffs: bonding can pick up stain over time, and it isn't as strong or long-lived as porcelain. For many small imperfections that hardly matters, and the low cost and reversibility make it a smart first move. If your goals outgrow what bonding does well, Dr. Little will tell you plainly and walk you through veneers instead.
What to expect
Bonding, in brief.
Match and plan
We match the resin to your enamel and confirm the plan, often with little or no numbing needed.
Sculpt
We lightly condition the tooth surface, then layer, shape, and harden the resin with a light until the form looks right.
Polish
Final shaping and a high polish blend the repair right into the tooth. You walk out the same day with the result.
Easy on the budget.
Bonding is priced per tooth and sits at the affordable end of cosmetic care. You'll see the exact cost in writing first, and if several teeth are involved, the estimate covers the whole picture.
Insurance rarely covers purely cosmetic bonding, though repairs after chips or trauma sometimes qualify. We'll help you find out. Payment options here.
Benefits, honestly
Dental insurance coverage.
Clarity Dental is not in-network with any insurance plan, and you can still be seen here. Most PPO plans pay out-of-network benefits toward care, and we file those claims as a courtesy so you do not have to.

Bonding, explained.
How long does dental bonding last?
Commonly three to ten years depending on location, bite forces, and habits. Touch-ups and repairs are simple, which is part of bonding's charm.
Does bonding look natural?
Well-done bonding is invisible at conversation distance. Shade matching and polish are craft details Dr. Little takes seriously.
Will bonding stain?
It can, gradually, especially with lots of coffee, tea, or smoking. Whitening your natural teeth first and then matching the bonding keeps everything bright longer.
Bonding or veneers?
Bonding is conservative, affordable, and same-day, a great fit for small fixes. Veneers cost more and last longer, with a more dramatic transformation. The right answer depends on your goals, and you'll get a straight comparison.
