Bonding

Online Dental Education Library

Please use our dental library to learn more about dental problems and treatments available. If you have questions or need to schedule an appointment, contact us.

Bonding is a process in which an enamel-like material is applied to a tooth`s surface, sculpted to an ideal shape, hardened, and then polished for an ideal smile. This procedure usually can be accomplished in a single visit.

Bonding is often performed in order to fill in gaps or change the color of your teeth. It typically only entails one office visit, and the results last for several years.

Bonding is more susceptible to staining or chipping than other forms of restoration such as veneers. When teeth are chipped or slightly decayed, bonded composite resins may be the material of choice. Bonding also is used as a tooth-colored filling for small cavities and broken or chipped surfaces.

In addition, bonding can be used to close spaces between teeth or cover the entire outside surface of a tooth to change its color and shape. Crowns, also known as caps, are used in cases where other procedures will not be effective. Crowns have the longest life expectancy of all cosmetic restorations, but are the most time consuming.

"Dr. Ridder is by far the most competent dentist I have gone to.  Highly recommended."

-Robert Ward, Indianapolis

"Dr. Ridder is now my favorite dentist ever and I've been to a few in Kokomo.  She is so kind, patient, and she takes a lot of time with you to make sure everything is perfect before you leave.  She has went above and beyond at each and every one of my visits."

-Amy Mcginnis, Kokomo

"She made sure that I was comfortable and had no pain or discomfort during my root canal.  I was extremely nervous and somehow she even had me laughing.  She knows what she's doing and she's very kind."

-Jennifer Stoll, Peru
