Accidents happen. You could take a bad fall and chip your tooth. It's also possible that a tooth can get discolored from medication or illness. Our dental team at Madison Avenue Dentists performs bonding and contouring to fix certain cosmetic flaws in our New York, NY office. A fast but effective cosmetic treatment, bonding and contouring is done with composite resin (also used for tooth-colored fillings) to hide tooth discoloration, reduce spaces between gapped teeth, lengthen a tooth, or even change a tooth's shape. If you want a great treatment to improve the appearance of your smile, make an appointment to get more information about dental bonding and contouring to improve your smile.

Who is a good candidate for bonding and contouring?
Dental bonding and contouring can help with gaps, chips, cracks, tooth length, discoloration, and other flaws. Dental bonding and contouring is a more affordable cosmetic procedure and can often be completed in one visit in our New York, NY facility. It also doesn’t need prep work, like veneers or crowns, but it is not as strong and typically does not stay on as long. Bonding and contouring is ideal for small issues, but if you want more extensive improvements, a different restorative or cosmetic procedure may be a better option. At your consult, our team at Madison Avenue Dentists will listen to your needs and wants and then discuss your treatment options.
How Does Dental Bonding and Contouring Work?
Bonding and contouring can be generally completed in one appointment at our office in New York, NY. You don't need anesthesia, but options for sedation may be discussed with our team at your consultation if you have any dental fears, anxieties, or a strong gag reflex. As soon as you're comfortable, we will begin applying the bonding material to the areas of your teeth that need it. The resin will be set, and more layers will be added as needed. After the bonding process is complete, we will contour and smooth the filling material and your natural enamel for an even appearance.
