Quick, affordable fixes for chips, cracks, and gaps

Dental Bonding in Roseville, MN

Simple Smile Improvements in Just One Visit

Dental bonding is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to fix small flaws in your smile—without numbing, drilling, or long recovery time. It’s perfect for chips, small gaps, worn edges, or even minor discoloration.

At Bates Dental Care, we use high-quality composite resin matched to your natural tooth shade, shaping and polishing it so it blends seamlessly. In most cases, you’ll walk out with a stronger, better-looking smile in just one visit.

Smile Evaluation and Shade Matching

We begin with a quick consultation and select a composite resin color that blends naturally with your surrounding teeth.

Gentle Surface Preparation

We'll lightly roughen the tooth’s surface so the bonding material adheres properly—no drilling, numbing, or enamel removal required.

Precise Resin Application

Our dentist applies and shapes the resin to correct chips, gaps, or irregular edges with artistic attention to detail.

Curing and Polishing

A special curing light hardens the resin, which we then polish until it feels smooth and looks like natural enamel.

Final Check and Care Tips

We make sure everything feels comfortable and looks great, then give you simple care tips to keep it lasting longer.

Fast, Comfortable Visits

Is Bonding Right for You?

Dental bonding is great for people with healthy teeth who want to improve small flaws like chips, surface cracks, gaps, or uneven edges. It’s not ideal for large restorations or deep discoloration, but for quick touch-ups or subtle changes, it’s one of the most affordable and comfortable options available.

We’ll let you know if bonding is the best choice or if another treatment like veneers or whitening may better suit your goals.

Caring for Your Bonded Tooth

Bonded teeth don’t require special care, but a few small habits go a long way. Brush and floss like normal, and avoid chewing hard objects like ice or pens. If you grind your teeth at night, we may recommend a nightguard to protect the bonding from wear.

Bonding can last several years with good hygiene and occasional touch-ups. And if the resin ever chips or dulls, we can easily repair or refresh it in-office.
