This first dental bonding case comes from Dr. Paul Koch, our mynewsmile.com member dentist from Birmingham, Alabama. This teenager had gaps between several teeth, and Dr. Koch, in one appointment, filled them in with dental bonding material, carefully and artistically sculpting the material so that it looks beautiful and natural. For more information about Dr. Koch, see our Alabama page.

This dental bonding case was done by Dr. Stephen Thordarson, a mynewsmile.com recommended dentist from near Toronto, Ontario. For more information about Dr. Thordarson, see our Ontario page. The male patient presented with old, stained fillings, and crooked teeth, and left with a beautiful, straight smile.

Click the link to see a case done by our Monmouth County, New Jersey recommended cosmetic dentist, Dr. Peter Ciampi. Direct dental bonding is an excellent technique for wedding cosmetic dentistry, if time is a big issue, because it can be done in one sitting.

In this set of photographs, Dr. David Hall, the author of this site, added dental bonding material to parts of several of the front teeth to make them look straight. Here is the "before" photograph.

After.

See how the result blends in naturally so that it's hard to tell where the bonding was done. There was actually quite a bit of bonding material used here, though it's hard to tell where it is

Few cosmetic dentists do composite veneers anymore. Read about them on the linked page.

The pictures below, of a patient treated by Dr. Hall, the author of this site, show a patient with a tooth gap in the front. Bonding material (composite), which is manufactured to simulate tooth enamel as perfectly as possible, was applied to the gap. With the proper artistic shading, shaping, and polishing, the final result looks so natural that it is very difficult to tell that anything artificial has been added to the teeth.

(Note: this patient had also bleached her teeth in separate appointments, which is why they look whiter than at the left.)
