Dental Bonding NYC by Viviane Trinh DMD
Dental bonding, also called tooth bonding, is a process that will help keep your smile bright even when they are damaged or don’t look their best. It involves our dentists applying resin, a bonding material for teeth, that is the same color as your teeth to hide imperfections. The reason that it is called dental or teeth bonding is because this resin bonds with the enamel of your tooth, so that it essentially becomes a part of it.
Cosmetic Dental Teeth Bonding Before & After
Excellent treatment, felt super safe and clean in Corona times as well, thank you for everything!
Dr. Trinh made my trip to the dentist extremely enjoyable. She was very professional, upbeat and thoughtful: she took the time to explain me the what and why of each treatments. I got to learn new things besides getting my teeth fixed. I would highly recommend Dr. Trinh to anyone!
Dr. Trinh is fantastic. Capable, friendly, and thorough. Highly recommend.
Phenomenal experience with Viviane the other week! Great attention to detail and I learned a few things about the affects of eating too much bread on my teeth 🙂
I’m so happy with my decision on choosing this Dentist. Literally the best dentist I have ever been to. So gentle and makes you feel at ease. Thank you for making me so comfortable.
Dr. Trinh was amazing. She was very thorough and thoughtful. She crossed every T and dotted every i. She listened to all of my concerns and made my experience a beautiful one. I will be returning.
Dr. Trinh is far and away the best dentist I’ve ever been too. And I used to see one of the best dentists in the Tri-State area. The quality of her work is not only first-rate but when you combine that with her professionalism and friendliness it’s no coincidence she’s at the top of her field. I highly recommend her!
Viviane is an absolute professional and someone who takes her work incredibly seriously. She is thorough, kind, and most of all someone I trust implicitly. I could not be happier with my experience thus far and would recommend her to anybody looking for a top dentist!

What Is Dental Bonding?
Cosmetic dental teeth bonding is a treatment that uses composite resin to repair or improve the appearance of your teeth. It’s called dental tooth bonding because the resin is bonded to your teeth using adhesives and a high-intensity light that hardens it.
If you don’t like the looks of traditional dental amalgam fillings, you can have cavities filled with composite resin, which looks like your natural tooth. Dental bonding is often used for cosmetic purposes because it covers discolored and chipped teeth. It also works for closing gaps between teeth, changing the shape of teeth, or making them look longer.
What are the risks and disadvantages of dental bonding?
Staining is an issue with dental bonding. The resin has slight stain-resistant properties, but not as much as crowns or veneers do. However, this could actually also be a good thing. Teeth get stained and change color with age. Your repaired teeth will look more natural as the bonding materials also get stained and discolored along with the rest of your teeth. Crowns and veneers can stand out, which makes them look artificial and can also make the natural teeth look worse by comparison.
Bonding materials do have a shorter life span than crowns and veneers. They can get damaged, you can grind them down in your sleep, or the resin can detach from the tooth as your mouth changes. For this reason, dentists generally recommend bonding for small cosmetic issues. If the resin does break or fall out, it can be easily replaced and repaired. Because pressure from biting can damage the teeth bonding material, we also tend to apply it in areas of the mouth where there is little bite pressure, such as the front teeth.
