A Small Chip on a Front Tooth
A chipped edge can often be rebuilt with tooth-colored resin, shaped to match the tooth beside it.
Dental bonding in Whittier uses tooth-colored resin to repair small chips, close small gaps and cover stains, often in a single visit. We examine the tooth first and tell you honestly whether bonding is the right fix.

Cosmetic dentistry is one of our core services, alongside implantology and dental surgery. Our cosmetic dentist has more than ten years of experience shaping teeth so they look natural beside the rest of your smile.
Since opening in 2003, we have cared for more than 50,000 patients from our Whittier office, and we hold a 4.9-star rating from over 300 Google reviews.

We choose a resin shade that matches your tooth, lightly prepare the surface, then apply the resin and shape it by hand. A curing light hardens each layer, and we finish by polishing it to match the shine of your natural enamel.

Bonding works best for small changes. Your exam tells us whether it fits your tooth.
A chipped edge can often be rebuilt with tooth-colored resin, shaped to match the tooth beside it.
Resin added to the sides of two teeth can make a small space look narrower or close it.
Some stains sit deep in the tooth. Bonding covers the area with resin matched to your shade.
A tooth that looks shorter or a different shape than its neighbors can be built out so the row looks even.

Whittier is a family city: nearly a quarter of residents are under 18, and households average three people, according to the U.S. Census. Chipped front teeth from sports, falls and everyday bumps are some of the most common reasons families here ask about bonding, and one visit is often all it takes.
More than four in ten Whittier residents speak a language other than English at home. Our team speaks English and Spanish, so you can talk through the shade, the shape and the cost in the language you prefer.
Our office is at 6716 Greenleaf Avenue, with easy parking. If your family also needs a dentist in Whittier for checkups and cleanings, we see patients of every age in the same office.
Bonding is one way to change how a tooth looks. These are the treatments we compare it with.
Bonding is one of several cosmetic treatments we offer. If you want to change more than one thing about your smile, we look at color, shape and spacing together and explain which treatment fits each concern.
When several front teeth need a bigger change in color or shape, porcelain or composite veneers cover the whole front surface. We will tell you whether bonding or veneers fits your goals better.
Our benefits coordinator checks your PPO coverage before your visit and tells you upfront what your plan will pay. Coverage for cosmetic treatment varies by plan, so we confirm it before you decide. We accept all PPO dental plans. We don’t accept state insurance.
For your share, choose low initial payments, a monthly payment plan, CareCredit or Cherry financing.

PPO plans we accept









We work with PPO dental plans. Call us and we’ll confirm your specific plan before your visit.
Often, yes. Bonding is usually done in a single visit because the resin is shaped and hardened directly on your tooth. We confirm it after examining the chip.
If you plan to whiten, do it first. Whitening does not change the color of bonding resin, so we match the resin to your teeth after they reach the shade you want.
It depends on the size of the change. Bonding suits small chips, gaps and spots. A veneer or a crown may last longer or suit the tooth better when the change is larger. We explain the options after your exam.
Tell us your date when you call. Because bonding is often finished in one visit, we can usually fit it in ahead of a wedding, graduation or photo day if the tooth is a good fit.
Cost depends on how many teeth are treated and how much resin each one needs. We explain the estimated charges, check your PPO benefits and go over payment options such as CareCredit and Cherry before you decide.
