Cosmetic Bonding
Cosmetic bonding is one of the most conservative ways to enhance a smile. With small, carefully planned additions of tooth-colored composite resin, we can improve gaps, uneven edges, slight rotations, asymmetries, tooth shape, tooth size, and more.

Cosmetic Bonding Procedures
You don’t need an aggressive treatment to get a stunning smile. Our artistic cosmetic bonding offers a gentle, non-invasive way to instantly seamlessly fix chips, gaps, and uneven edges while completely preserving your healthy, natural teeth.
A conservative approach to smile enhancement
One of the greatest advantages of cosmetic bonding is that it can often be completed with little to no removal of healthy tooth structure. In many cases, the tooth simply needs to be cleaned and lightly prepared using air abrasion with a gentle aluminum oxide powder to create an ideal surface for bonding. From there, composite resin can be artistically added to reshape and enhance the tooth.
This makes cosmetic bonding an incredibly conservative option for aesthetic dentistry and smile makeovers. Unlike crowns or veneers, many bonding procedures do not require permanently reshaping or significantly preparing your natural teeth. In many cases, if desired in the future, the bonded material can be removed and your natural tooth structure remains largely unchanged.
The art and science of natural cosmetic bonding
Beautiful bonding requires more than simply placing tooth-colored material on a tooth. Natural teeth have depth, translucency, opacity, texture, and unique ways of reflecting and transmitting light. To create a seamless result, the dentist must understand tooth anatomy, color layering, micro-texture, and how to blend composite resin into natural tooth structure.
Dr. Shawn Knorr, DDS uses a wide range of composite materials, shades, opacities, translucencies, tints, and opaquers to replicate the natural look of enamel and dentin. This level of detail helps cosmetic bonding look lifelike rather than flat, bulky, or artificial.
Why experience matters
There is a fine art to doing cosmetic bonding conservatively and beautifully. While it can sometimes be easier to aggressively prepare a tooth and replace large portions of it with restorative material, the philosophy at Forever Smiles is preservation whenever possible. The goal is to make precise, minimal changes that blend naturally while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.
Many dental offices carry a limited range of composite materials and shades. However, natural teeth vary tremendously in color, translucency, brightness, and texture. Creating truly natural cosmetic bonding requires having the right tools and materials available to customize every case.
