Cosmetic Bonding
Dental bonding is a special procedure used to restore, reshape and rejuvenate teeth, improving both their function and appearance. Dentists apply a thin layer of tooth-colored plastic to the front of the tooth and sculpt it to perfect the patient’s appearance. Dental bonding is used to repair chipped, cracked, broken, misshapen teeth or stained teeth or to fill in the spaces between teeth. It is also one way of addressing some of the gum recession.
Dental Bonding Material
The dental bonding material is made of a composite resin, or plastic, that hardens and fuses to the tooth when the dentist shines a special light on it. Once in place, the bonding material is shaped to correct the specific defect, colored to match the patient’s natural tooth and polished until it is smooth.
The Dental Bonding Process
Applying bonding to a patient’s teeth requires a three-step process.
Step 1
An etching solution is applied to the tooth or teeth to prepare them to receive the bonding material. This solution gently roughens the surface of the tooth for a stronger bond between the tooth and the plastic.
Step 2
A thin layer of the bonding resin is placed on the surface of the tooth and is sealed in place using a special light. Several layers of resin may be added and hardened in turn. Each layer takes only a few minutes to harden.
Step 3
The bonding material is sculpted to the desired shape and colored to match the shade of the natural teeth. Finally, the bonding material is polished until it is entirely smooth.
The dental bonding procedure takes 1 to 2 hours, and its results may last for up to 10 years before any restoration is necessary.
Excellent Job Cleaning My Teeth
“I have been going to Dr. Bidabadi for about 2 years now and they are not only the nicest staff, but they do an excellent job cleaning my teeth and making me feel comfortable. I had my first cavity ever last year and was freaking out like a baby when I saw the Novocaine needle, but the dentist made it a relaxing, pain free experience. They explained each step and even held my hand when I was nervous. I even got to see before and after shots of my tooth after the procedure was done!"

Terrific – Friendly, Helpful, And Skilled
“My husband and I have been going to Dr. Bidabadi for over 10 years. She is the best! She will encourage you to take steps to improve both the health and appearance of your teeth, but is never overly aggressive or sales-y about either. Her staff is also terrific – friendly, helpful, and skilled. I hope that Dr. Bidabadi is in practice for many, many more years!"

BY FAR The Best I’ve Ever Had
“ have an EXTREME hatred for dentists. I usually wish bad things upon them (dramatized for effect, of course) … until I met Dr. Bidabadi. She is wonderful. Beyond amazing. My hero. She is patient with annoying people like me who have panic attacks over cavity fillings (no joke). I have been to many dentists over the years and she is BY FAR the best I’ve ever had."
Jamie J., Jamaica Plain., | Boston, MA
Dr. Bidabadi Went Above And Beyond
“Once again, Dr. Bidabadi went above and beyond to provide the best dental care. I have been her patient for 15 years and even though I live 35 miles away, I continue to see her and her staff. Went yesterday for quick appointment and when she discovered a problem in another tooth, she worked through her lunch hour to treat me so that I wouldn't have to make a separate long trip. I trust Dr. B and her practice 100%. Wish she would move north of Boston!"
