Unleash your most radiant smile with conservative and single-visit composite bonding
Welcome to David A. Goodman, DMD Alan C. Ko, DMD, your leading dental office in Milford, Massachusetts, and the surrounding areas. We believe your smile should make you feel confident, comfortable, and healthy.
Do you have minor chips, stains, or gaps in your teeth? Drs. Alan Ko, Brittany Bressler, and Saeed Kashefi offer cosmetic dental bonding as an affordable and conservative solution for mild to moderate dental issues. This treatment involves applying tooth-colored resin to your front teeth to erase cosmetic imperfections for a stunning smile that radiates with confidence and vitality.
How does cosmetic dental bonding work?
While dental bonding is generally suitable for most individuals, it is essential to consult a cosmetic dentist to assess your eligibility for the procedure. We’ll conduct a comprehensive oral exam and design a personalized treatment plan to perfect your smile. You’ll see your enhanced results soon after.
Following the consultation, here is what you can expect during the procedure:
- Material selection: Together with you, we’ll choose the shade of the resin material that closely matches your teeth to create a seamless blend.
- Tooth preparation: The procedure involves little tooth preparation. Many people love dental bonding because they don’t have to lose their natural enamel. Unlike crowns or veneers, the dentist applies the bonding material directly to your teeth without grinding down the enamel. The only preparation you need is a professional dental cleaning to remove hardened plaque and unwanted bacteria.
- Material application: We’ll apply a conditioning liquid to your prepared teeth to create a solid adhering surface. Next, we’ll apply the bonding material to your teeth and sculpt and shape it to the desired look.
- Curing: After reshaping your bonded teeth, we’ll use a special curing light to harden the material in minutes, creating a durable bond. Multiple layers of resin may be applied and cured to achieve optimal results.
- Final touches: We’ll trim and polish your bonded teeth for a smooth, natural appearance. The final result is a beautiful smile transformation that looks and feels natural.

Optimizing maintenance is vital to prolong your results if you have transformed your smile with dental bonding. The good news is that caring for bonded teeth is simple and doesn’t differ from your everyday oral hygiene practices.

Lastly, protect your teeth with a personalized mouthguard if you brux teeth or participate in contact sports.
