What is Tooth Bonding?

If you have ever chipped or broken a tooth, then bonding is a way to repair your natural tooth. Tooth bonding can also be used to conceal gaps in teeth, discolored teeth or disproportionate teeth.

Bonding is different from a filling, and a composite color similar to your natural teeth is used to help your tooth return to its original look and feel. 

Even if you have a small part of your tooth missing, fixing it is vital for your oral health. It helps your teeth fit together and work together properly to avoid any additional issues with your surrounding teeth.

Tooth bonding is also a more cost effective office than other treatments, like porcelain veneers or dental crowns.

Our Bonding Process

Our tooth bonding process is done in a single visit, using a composite resin to fill in the missing tooth area. Utilizing a UV light, the bonding material is secured into place with the same strength as your natural tooth.

If you have a sensitive mouth, then local anesthetic can be utilized to make your procedure more comfortable.

This efficient process takes about an hour.

What Our Patients Say

"I really can't say enough about my experience with Dr Hecklin and his team. I had gotten veneers done by Dr. Hecklin and my experience and end result was above and beyond what i ever expected. The treatment and advice from the very beginning was super helpful, professional and honest. They did not try to upsell me and make me get more than I needed, he even said to get less than I originally planned because there was no need. Dr. Hecklin and his entire team really cared about me and what I wanted to achieve and to make it cost efficient for ME!"

Myranda Marie Achvan

"I've known Dr. Hecklin for many years....and I must say...he is among the very TOP of those dentists that is knowledgeable, conservative, passionate, patient, laid back, and a pleasure to have as my dentist! The office is inviting, relaxing and FUN!...yes, FUN! The staff is equally as knowledgeable, passionate, welcoming, laid back! It's so calming and refreshing to know I am well-taken care of and that I matter in this fast pace of "next" in the service industry. Thank you Dr. Hecklin for taking such GREAT care of me and my mouth!"

Lesa Byrum

"My wife and I have been patients or Dr. Hecklin's for nearly 20 years and both consider him to be at the very top of his profession. No one is eager to go to the dentist... but Steve goes out of his way to be welcoming and make our experience as comfortable as possible. He is always concerned about, and goes out of his way to minimize, any discomfort we experience. We have great confidence in him both as a caretaker of our dental health and as a creative problem solver whenever dental issues arise."

Avi Poster

"I have been a very satisfied patient of Dr. Hecklin for twenty eight years. The quality of dental services is first rate and the staff are very professional and care about the patient’s satisfaction. The longevity of many of the staff is also a strong indicator of a high quality clinical practice, staff, and leadership. Also, Dr. Hecklin has responded promptly and effectively to a few emergency dental situations I have had over the past twenty eight years, whether I have been in or out of town. I would recommend Dr. Hecklin and his dental practice without any reservation."

George Bone

"I have been seeing Dr Hecklin since we moved to TN 18 years ago. You will not find a better dentist (and person) anywhere. I was a dental phobic person, but he was understanding and always took time with me, now I look forward to seeing him, and all the wonderful ladies who work there!"
