How the Cosmetic Bonding Process Works
What bonding can fix
Dental bonding at Clio Dental Studio in Houston Heights repairs chips, closes small gaps and smooths uneven edges with tooth-colored composite resin, often in a single visit. Dr. Sanaz Rouhani, DDS, FAGD, sculpts each repair by hand and matches it to your natural enamel, so it blends in seamlessly and preserves your natural tooth structure.
Chips and small fractures
Rebuild the missing edge so the tooth looks whole again.
Uneven or worn edges
Smooth and even out edges for a more balanced smile.
Small gaps
Close minor spaces between teeth.
Stubborn discoloration
Cover spots that whitening cannot remove.
Bonding vs. porcelain veneers
Not sure which fits? Dr. Rouhani talks through both at your visit. See veneers.
What happens, step by step
Color matching
Dr. Rouhani selects a composite shade that matches your natural tooth color.
Light preparation
A gentle etch creates a micro-textured surface so the bond is strong.
Layering and sculpting
The composite is applied in layers and shaped by hand to restore form and harmony.
Curing and polishing
A curing light hardens the resin, then it is polished to a glossy, lifelike finish.
Thinking about whitening too?
Composite does not change color with whitening, so if you want brighter teeth, whitening usually comes first and the bonding is matched to your new shade. See professional teeth whitening.
Caring for bonded teeth
Brush, floss and keep your professional cleanings.
Avoid biting hard objects or chewing ice, which can chip the resin.
At your check-ups, bonded areas can be refinished and polished to keep them bright.

Dental bonding questions, answered
How long does dental bonding last?
With regular brushing, flossing and cleanings, bonded teeth can last many years. The bonded areas can be refinished or polished at your check-ups to keep them looking their best.
Does bonding hurt?
Bonding is typically comfortable. Because little or no tooth structure is removed, most bonding is done without injections.
How long does a bonding appointment take?
Bonding is usually finished in a single visit, with no downtime afterward.
Can bonded teeth be whitened?
No. Composite keeps the shade it is matched to, so if you want whiter teeth, whitening is usually done first.
Should I choose bonding or veneers?
Bonding suits small repairs and is more affordable. Porcelain veneers are more stain-resistant and suit larger changes to color and shape. Dr. Rouhani helps you choose at your visit.
Will bonding stain?
Composite resists stains well but can pick up some color over time, especially from coffee, tea or red wine. Polishing at your check-ups keeps it bright.
