Bonding
Cracked, chipped, misshapen, or discolored teeth can cause a lot of insecurity. If left untreated, some of these problems — such as cracked or chipped teeth — may worsen and require extensive treatment. Thankfully, these flaws are easily treatable with a variety of cosmetic techniques.
At Mary Ellen Wynn, DDS, we are proud to offer custom bonding treatments. These treatments can be used to correct minor flaws or improve the aesthetic appearance of your teeth.
What is dental bonding?
Dental bonding is ideal for minor cosmetic enhancements. Unlike porcelain veneers, bonding is made of a tooth-colored resin which is bonded to your teeth. This procedure can be completed in a single visit. Bonding is an efficient and cost-effective way to correct minor flaws and discoloration in your smile while preserving your original tooth structure.
During your procedure, Dr. Wynn and her team will place the resin over your affected tooth. Because it is initially soft and malleable, Dr. Wynn will be able to shape the material to fit your tooth and correct the aesthetic flaws. Once the resin hardens, it will be polished for a beautiful finish.
Am I a candidate for bonding?
If you are uncomfortable with your smile, a bonding treatment may be a good solution. We may recommend this treatment for anyone suffering from:
- Cracked or chipped teeth
- Irregularly-shaped teeth (teeth that are small, thin, or pitted)
- Teeth with noticeable gaps
- Severe stains
- Excessive wear
- Slightly crooked teeth
Why should I choose dental bonding?
Dental bonding provides a conservative treatment option to those with minor aesthetic flaws. It is less costly than other cosmetic procedures and can generally be completed in one visit.
Bonding resin is a great solution for cosmetic improvements that need a faster and less expensive solution. Porcelain veneers will last longer and are considered a more aesthetically-pleasing treatment. However, the veneers’ cost reflects that upgrade. Resin is less expensive than veneers and comes in a variety of tooth-colored shades. Bonding resin can be placed in a single visit and allows Dr. Wynn to preserve the majority of your natural tooth structure.
Bonding can last between 5-7 years. However, if your bonding breaks, chips, or becomes stained, let us know. Dr. Wynn is generally able to repair or patch bonding in a single visit!

Patient Testimonials
Dr. Mary Ellen Wynn’s dental practice in the Western Hills area is by far the best dentist I have visited. My first appointment was 15+ years ago when she took me in for an urgent cracked tooth. Service was excellent and professional. My family continues to visit on a regular basis.
James A.
Dr. Wynn and her staff are exceptional in their friendliness, knowledge and help. They all make visiting the dentist a delightful experience. Dr. Wynn is the best dentist I’ve encountered in all my life and would recommend her services to anyone, especially those who are afraid of going to the dentist.
Peter D.
My mother and I have been patients of Dr. Wynn’s for approximately ten years. Both of us have been impressed by her professionalism and expertise, and not to mention her fantastic staff. We’ve gone to her for dental needs far beyond routine cleanings, and have been extremely satisfied.
Melissa B.
My childhood experience with a dentist was best described as grim. It led me to neglect my dental health. Teeth that been improperly drilled and filled had to be pulled. My husband found Dr. Wynn and shortly thereafter, so did I. The experience has changed my outlook on dentists.
