If you cover your mouth when speaking and feel self-conscious about smiling in public, it is time to see a dentist and make a change. Whether your goals are cosmetic or functional, bonding can solve a variety of dental issues.
Dental bonding uses tooth-colored resin to cover visible concerns in your teeth and enhance your appearance. The putty-like composite resin is molded and shaped to your tooth for a hard finish that matches the appearance of natural enamel. Though simple, this dental procedure can dramatically improve the aesthetics of your smile as well as your self-confidence.
What Can Bonding Address?
Chipped Teeth
Dental bonding fills and smooths chips, blending to your existing tooth enamel for a natural look and fit.Discolored Teeth
Bonding transforms stubborn teeth that don’t respond to standard whitening procedures, leaving you with a radiant smile.Size Adjustment
Our dentist can apply the resin to enlarge or elongate a tooth to match the surrounding teeth and enhance alignment.Teeth Gaps
If you have gaps between your teeth, Dr. Carpenter can use composite resin to discreetly fill the spaces.Receding Gums
In the early stages of gum recession, dental bonding can help protect exposed roots and reduce tooth sensitivity.Take a Look at How Bonding Works

Dental Bonding Before & After
Choosing the Right Dental Treatment
Our dentist in Kenilworth, IL, will first perform an initial exam to ensure your teeth are healthy and ready for cosmetic dentistry. If you are suffering from gum disease or decay, you will need to undergo periodontal care and restorative treatments at our office before qualifying for dental bonding. For more serious chips and cracks that are beyond the scope of bonding, Dr. Carpenter may recommend veneers or dental crowns to help hide imperfections.
What to Expect During Treatment
Dental bonding is a simple and affordable way to conceal flaws in just one office visit.
Comparing Dental Bonding and Veneers
Dental bonding and veneers are popular forms of cosmetic dentistry that achieve similar results, but bonding is simpler and costs less. Here at our Kenilworth, IL, dental office, we are transparent about the pros and cons of each option so you can make the best decision for yourself and your dental goals. Bonding does not last as long as veneers, but it can be the preferred choice for several reasons:
Cost
Dental bonding is more affordable than veneers and other forms of dentistry, making it a popular choice among patients not wanting to break the bank. While a fraction of the price, the treatment can correct many of the same problems as porcelain veneers.
Time
Have an event coming up and want to look your best? Dental bonding is completed in just one visit with immediate results. Veneers and other dental restorations on the other hand are produced in a lab which can take a few weeks to complete.
Conservative
Unlike veneers, dental bonding does not require the removal of tooth enamel. Once a patient gets veneers, they cannot go back to their natural teeth. The bonded material is simply applied to the surface of the enamel and can be reversed if desired.
How Much Does Dental Bonding Cost?
Dental bonding is a popular option among our Kenilworth, IL, patients due to its low price and effective results. Bonding typically costs between $100 to $400 per tooth, depending on your individual needs and customized aspects of treatment. While this is generally affordable for most patients' budgets, we do accept CareCredit® financing to help make the cost more manageable. CareCredit offers little-to-no-interest financing plans that allow patients who qualify to pay in monthly installments.

10+ years and counting, won’t drive anywhere else. Always a pleasant experience and any post visit issues come with Doc offering his mobile number should something present a problem after hours. Kind of place you get there early just to catch up with the staff...

It was suggested that I go to Art Carpenter DDS. I went to get some bonding, whitening, a crown and a veneer. I found him to be friendly, professional, explained everything before he did each thing and he did a great job. I would recommend him to the world to go to him.

Combining Dental
Treatments
/
Do you have more than one tooth problem you wish to correct? Bonding can effectively improve minor flaws, but a single treatment might not be enough to achieve your cosmetic goals. If you are looking for more comprehensive enhancement, you may be a great candidate for a smile makeover.
What Is a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover is a customized treatment plan that combines two or more dental procedures. These procedures can include bonding, teeth whitening, dental implants, crowns, and more. The goal is to achieve all of your cosmetic and restorative needs in fewer office visits and in the most efficient manner possible.

Dental bonding can last as long as 10 years before needing to be touched up or replaced and other treatments will require upkeep so they last as long as possible. To maximize the benefits of treatment, it’s essential to practice good oral health and stay on top of your annual dental visits. Please be mindful of certain foods or habits that could potentially damage your teeth as well as the bonded material. We recommend our Kenilworth, IL, patients avoid:
- Eating hard food such as nuts, candy, or popcorn.
- Foods and drinks such as wine and coffee that may cause tooth staining. Composite resin isn’t immune from discoloration.
- Opening packages with their teeth.
- Chewing on their nails, pens, or ice.
Additionally, it’s essential to be mindful of habits like teeth grinding. If you grind at night, we may recommend a mouth guard to prevent wearing down your dental bonding.
