Dental Bonding in Austin, TX
What is Dental Bonding?
Whether you’re unhappy with the way that your smile looks or you need to repair a broken, chipped, or cracked tooth, dental bonding can help you achieve a long-lasting, functional, and beautiful smile. If you’re looking for dental bonding in Austin, Texas, you’ve come to the right place; Dr. Carmona is one of Austin’s leading prosthodontists.
Dental Bonding is a process that involves using a tooth-colored resin to change the color, shape, size, or structural integrity of a tooth. This treatment is often used as a more cost-effective alternative to veneers or as a cosmetic alternative to traditional fillings. The bonding material that Dr. Carmona uses is a composite resin that he can color and shape into exactly what you need.
What to Expect When Getting Dental Bonding?
During a consultation, you and Dr. Carmona will talk about your cosmetic and oral health goals, what you’re hoping to change about your teeth, and what your options are.
Once you and Dr. Carmona decide that dental bonding is the right choice for you, he can generally accomplish your dental bonding treatment in one appointment. Dr. Carmona will not need to do as much tooth preparation as he would if you were getting treatments like porcelain veneers or crowns.
Instead, he will simply roughen the surface of your tooth and condition it so that the bonding material adheres to your tooth properly. He will then apply the composite resin to your tooth and shape it to achieve the desired result. Once the resin is color-matched and shaped, he will use a blue light to harden the resin.
After the material is hardened, Dr. Carmona will fine-tune the shape and polish your tooth, giving you a beautiful smile in just one visit.

WHAT SETS US APART
Had my initial consult today. Dr. Carmona and staff were very accommodating and informative. Dr. Carmona presented all my options and was very helpful in answering my questions. I'm going forward with my treatment plan and looking forward to continuing excellent service.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Carmona and his office. Having seen many dentists for my complex treatment, he was the only one who gave me a comprehensive plan with great results. I had 25 year old bridgework replaced with a combination of new bridges and dental implants. I also needed bone grafting in order for implants to work and he was able to partner with an oral surgeon for this. He answered my barrage of questions thoroughly and with great care. I cannot say enough about my experience and have a wonderful smile as proof. As a bonus he and the surgeon were both in-network, saving me thousands of dollars out of pocket. Do not hesitate coming here!
