Cosmetic Dentistry

Small fixes, big difference.

Bonding repairs chips, closes small gaps, and reshapes teeth using tooth-colored resin. It is one of the quickest ways to improve a smile, often in a single visit and without drilling.

The little thing you notice every day.

A chipped front tooth, a small gap, an uneven edge: these are the little things people notice about their own smile every day. Bonding fixes them by sculpting tooth-colored composite directly onto the tooth.

It is conservative by design, which is exactly how Dr. Toups practices anyway. There is usually no drilling and no removing healthy tooth structure, which makes it a gentle, reversible way to make a noticeable change. If you just chipped a tooth and are wondering how urgent it is, our guide to chipped and cracked teeth walks you through it.

"We start with the smallest fix that gets you the smile you want."

Bonding before veneers, veneers before crowns. Your natural teeth are worth protecting.

What To Expect

Common Questions

Good to know.

How long does bonding last?
Several years with good care. It can chip if you bite hard objects, but it is easy to touch up when needed.
Is bonding better than a veneer?
For small fixes, bonding is faster and more conservative. For a full smile makeover, other options may last longer. We will tell you honestly which suits your goals.
Will the bonded area stain?
Composite can pick up stain over years, especially with heavy coffee or tobacco use. Regular cleanings keep it looking fresh.
