Tooth bonding is a simple, affordable cosmetic dental procedure that Dr. Jake Fisher performs right here at Fisher Dental in Omaha. During this procedure, Dr. Fisher applies a special tooth-colored resin material to your tooth, shapes it perfectly, and then hardens it with a special light. The result is a natural-looking repair that blends seamlessly with your smile!

The composite resin used in bonding is carefully selected to match the color of your natural teeth, ensuring that your smile looks completely natural after the procedure. Dr. Fisher has helped countless patients throughout Omaha achieve the beautiful smiles they deserve through this simple yet effective treatment.
What Dental Issues Can Tooth Bonding Fix?
Tooth bonding is incredibly versatile and can address many common dental concerns:
- Chipped or cracked teeth: Bonding can repair minor damage and restore the tooth’s appearance
- Gaps between teeth: Small spaces between teeth can be filled to create a more uniform smile
- Discolored teeth: When teeth whitening isn’t effective, bonding can cover stubborn stains
- Misshapen teeth: Bonding can improve the shape and length of teeth that are too short or oddly shaped
- Minor misalignment: Some alignment issues can be visually corrected without the need for braces
- Exposed tooth roots: When gums recede, bonding can protect sensitive roots
At Fisher Dental in Omaha, Dr. Fisher evaluates each patient individually to determine if tooth bonding is the right solution for your specific needs. Many patients are surprised to learn how many different dental issues can be addressed with this simple procedure!

What to Expect During Your Tooth Bonding Procedure
When you visit Fisher Dental for tooth bonding, here’s what you can expect:

- Surface Preparation: The surface of the tooth is gently roughened and a conditioning liquid is applied to help the bonding material adhere properly.
- Application: Dr. Fisher carefully applies the tooth-colored resin, molding and smoothing it to the desired shape.
- Curing: A special light is used to harden the material, which only takes a few minutes.
- Finishing Touches: Once hardened, Dr. Fisher will further trim, shape, and polish the bonding material until it matches the rest of your tooth and feels natural in your mouth.
The entire process usually takes 30-60 minutes per tooth. You’ll be able to use your bonded tooth normally as soon as you leave our office!

Is Tooth Bonding Right for You?
