Fast, Affordable Repairs for Chipped, Cracked, or Discolored Teeth
Dental bonding is a simple and effective cosmetic solution for improving the shape, color, and structure of your teeth. Using a tooth-colored resin material, the procedure restores minor imperfections with minimal tooth preparation and immediate results — often completed in a single visit.
At Toothtime Family Dentistry, we offer high-quality dental bonding for patients in New Braunfels, Seguin, and surrounding areas. Whether you’re repairing a chipped tooth, closing a gap, or covering discoloration, our skilled team will match the resin precisely to your natural tooth color for a seamless blend.
Dental bonding is one of the most conservative and cost-effective options in modern cosmetic dentistry — and an excellent entry point for patients considering aesthetic improvements.
What Issues Can Dental Bonding Fix?
Bonding is ideal for small cosmetic changes or temporary corrections in more complex cases. It’s often used to address:
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Uneven or worn tooth edges
- Discoloration or internal staining
- Gaps between teeth (diastemas)
- Misshapen or undersized teeth
- Minor alignment concerns
If you're considering more comprehensive cosmetic work, we may also recommend porcelain veneers or cosmetic crowns depending on the extent of the damage or your long-term goals.
How Dental Bonding Works
Bonding is a minimally invasive procedure that usually requires no anesthesia unless it’s being used to fill a decayed tooth. Here’s how the process works:
- Shade Matching
We begin by selecting a composite resin that closely matches your natural tooth color. - Tooth Preparation
The tooth surface is lightly etched to help the material adhere, and a bonding agent is applied. - Resin Application
The resin is carefully shaped and molded onto the tooth to restore its form and appearance. - Curing
A special curing light hardens the resin in layers for long-term durability. - Polishing
The bonded area is smoothed and polished to match the sheen of your surrounding enamel.
Unlike crowns or veneers, bonding typically requires only one visit, making it a convenient solution for busy patients.
Why Choose Toothtime for Dental Bonding?
- Skilled Cosmetic Dentists: Our doctors combine aesthetic precision with functional design to ensure natural-looking results.
- Patient-Focused Care: We work conservatively and prioritize your long-term oral health and comfort.
- Holistic Options Available: For patients seeking non-toxic or biocompatible dental fillings, we provide mercury-free materials aligned with your health goals.

Many of our bonding patients also benefit from additional cosmetic treatments such as teeth whitening or chipped tooth repair.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding may be right for you if:
- You have minor cosmetic issues and want a non-invasive solution
- You’re not ready to commit to permanent restorations like veneers
- You’re looking for a same-day or budget-conscious cosmetic fix
- You want to improve aesthetics without removing healthy tooth structure
For patients with more severe damage or alignment problems, we may recommend clear aligners or ceramic crowns as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
FAQs About Dental Bonding
How long does dental bonding last?
Bonding usually lasts between 4 and 10 years, depending on the location of the bonded tooth, your bite, and how well you care for your teeth. Avoiding hard foods and using a nightguard if you grind your teeth can help extend the lifespan.
Does bonding look natural?
Yes. The resin is color-matched to your existing enamel, shaped with precision, and polished to blend in seamlessly with your smile.
Is dental bonding reversible?
Yes. Unlike veneers or crowns, dental bonding is considered reversible because it requires minimal to no alteration of your natural tooth structure.
Can dental bonding fix gaps between teeth?
Absolutely. Bonding is a great option for closing small gaps or correcting uneven spacing, especially when orthodontic treatment isn't necessary.
Is dental bonding covered by insurance?
If the bonding is done for functional reasons (like repairing a chipped tooth), some insurance plans may cover it. If it’s purely cosmetic, coverage is less likely. We’ll provide an estimate and discuss membership plan options to help manage costs.
