Composite Bonding in NYC
A Seamless, Non-Invasive Way to Enhance Your Smile
Composite bonding is one of the most effective ways to correct minor imperfections in your smile. At Terra Dental in Hell’s Kitchen, we use advanced bonding techniques to repair chips, close small gaps, reshape edges, and correct discoloration — all while preserving your natural tooth structure.
Our approach is highly aesthetic and detail-oriented. Dr. Joyce Suh carefully sculpts and polishes each bonded tooth to ensure it blends seamlessly with the rest of your smile. Every case is customized, using the highest quality materials for results that are subtle, beautiful, and natural-looking.
What is Composite Bonding?
Composite bonding uses a tooth-colored composite resin to restore or reshape the visible parts of a tooth. The material is expertly applied, artistically sculpted, and polished until it becomes indistinguishable from your natural enamel.
Unlike veneers or crowns, bonding is minimally invasive, requires little to no tooth preparation, and is often completed in a single appointment without anesthesia.
Is Composite Bonding Right for You?
Bonding is ideal for:
Minor chips or cracks
Stains that don’t respond to whitening
Small gaps between teeth
Slightly uneven or worn edges
If you're considering a more transformative solution, we’ll also review porcelain veneers or ceramic onlays as options.

Our Artistic Process
At Terra, cosmetic bonding is elevated to a form of art. Our cosmetic dentists take time to understand your goals and design every restoration with the same precision they bring to full smile makeovers. Using premium composite materials, she customizes the shade, translucency, and texture to match your smile perfectly.
We do not rush. Each bonded tooth is meticulously contoured and polished to ensure it looks and feels natural from every angle.
Treatment Process
-
We start with a personalized evaluation and digital scan to plan your treatment and shade match your tooth precisely.
-
The composite material is placed directly on the tooth, then artfully shaped to match your natural anatomy.
-
The material is set with a curing light and polished using high-end tools to give the restoration a natural gloss and smooth finish.
This can all be completed in a single visit, so you can walk out with a refreshed smile the same day.
How Long Does It Last?
With proper care, cosmetic bonding can last 5 to 8 years or longer. We recommend regular hygiene visits, avoiding hard objects or habits that can stress the resin, and wearing a night guard if you clench or grind.
Considering a Longer-Term Upgrade?
If you’re looking for a more permanent and transformative result, we also offer porcelain veneers and ceramic onlays. During your consultation, we’ll walk through every option to ensure the treatment you choose aligns with your goals and lifestyle.
