OKC Smiles in Oklahoma City is proud to welcome patients from Moore and Norman, OK who are in need of Dental Bonding.
Fast, Affordable, and Natural-Looking Chipped Tooth Repair
A chipped tooth can affect your confidence and oral health, but it doesn’t have to. At OKC Smiles, we specialize in dental bonding—a quick and effective solution to restore chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth. Whether you’re dealing with a small chip or need more extensive tooth repair, dental bonding can give you a natural-looking smile in just one visit.
OKC Smiles is the best dental experience I’ve had in my life. I was planning on coming here for only cosmetic dental bonding since my original dentist did not offer that service, but noooo. Now I’m a life long customer! – Holly B.
Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure that uses a tooth-colored resin to repair and restore damaged teeth. The resin is applied directly to the tooth, perfectly shaped, and hardened using a special curing light. This technique is highly versatile and is commonly used for:
Repairing chipped or cracked teeth
Filling small gaps between teeth
Reshaping uneven teeth
Restoring teeth damaged by decay or discoloration
The Advantages of Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is a versatile and effective solution for repairing chipped teeth and other minor imperfections. It’s an excellent choice for patients seeking a quick, cost-effective, and natural-looking restoration. Here are some of the key benefits:
Fast and Convenient: Dental bonding is typically completed in a single visit, often in under an hour per tooth. This makes it an ideal option for patients with busy schedules who want immediate results.
Natural-Looking Results: The composite resin used in bonding is custom-matched to your natural tooth color. Once applied and polished, the bonded tooth blends seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
Minimally Invasive: Bonding requires little to no removal of your natural tooth structure, preserving the integrity of your tooth while enhancing its appearance.
Affordable Solution: Compared to procedures like veneers or crowns, dental bonding is a cost-effective way to repair chips and other minor damage while achieving great aesthetic results.
Durable and Long-Lasting: With proper care, bonded teeth can last several years. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups will help maintain the integrity of the restoration.
How Dental Bonding Repairs Chipped Teeth
Chipped teeth are a common dental issue. They can result from accidents, biting down on hard objects, or teeth grinding. While the damage may seem purely cosmetic, even small chips can weaken the tooth structure and lead to further complications if left untreated. Dental bonding offers a practical and affordable solution by restoring the tooth’s appearance and strength without the need for more extensive procedures like crowns or veneers.
Our Dental Bonding Process
Getting a chipped tooth repaired at OKC Smiles is simple:
Consultation: We’ll evaluate your tooth and determine if dental bonding is the right solution for you.
Preparation: The surface of the tooth is lightly etched to help the resin adhere securely.
Application: A tooth-colored resin is applied, sculpted to match your tooth’s shape, and hardened using a special light.
Polishing: Finally, we polish the bonded area for a smooth, natural finish.
Why Timely Chipped Tooth Repair is Essential
Even minor chips can lead to long-term problems if left untreated. They can weaken the tooth, increase the risk of fractures, and make the tooth more susceptible to decay. Additionally, the rough edges of a chipped tooth can irritate the surrounding soft tissues in the mouth, causing discomfort or sores.
Addressing the issue with dental bonding restores the tooth’s appearance, prevents further damage, and reinforces the tooth, ensuring your smile stays healthy and intact.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Bonding
How long does dental bonding last?Dental bonding is a durable solution, and with proper care, it can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years or more. Its longevity largely depends on factors such as your oral hygiene habits, diet, and whether you have habits like teeth grinding or biting on hard objects. To maximize the lifespan of your bonded teeth, it’s important to maintain regular dental checkups, brush and floss daily, and avoid biting on ice or using your teeth as tools. If minor wear or discoloration occurs over time, the bonding can often be touched up to keep your smile looking its best.
Does dental bonding hurt?Dental bonding is a non-invasive procedure, meaning it typically doesn’t require anesthesia or drilling. Most patients find the process comfortable, as it involves simply applying and sculpting the resin material directly onto the tooth. If you have particularly sensitive teeth or areas that may need slight preparation, you should discuss with your dentist how to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the procedure. Afterward, you can return to your normal activities immediately, with no downtime.
Can bonding fix severely chipped teeth?Dental bonding is an excellent option for repairing minor to moderate chips and cracks. However, for severely damaged or broken teeth, a more comprehensive solution like a dental crown or veneer may be necessary to restore both the function and appearance of the tooth. Crowns offer added strength and protection, while veneers provide a more permanent cosmetic solution for extensive damage. Your dentist will evaluate your specific needs and recommend the best treatment option for your situation.

Going to the dentist is something I take very serious, I've always believed your smile is everything, therefore, I'm quite picky with finding a dentist. My dentist of many years had retired and I had tried a couple that I simply wasn't happy with at all before I happened onto OKC Smiles, and I couldnt be happier! Both dr's are extremely knowledgeable and have great bedside manner..very down to earth! The staff is simply a class act no matter who you have the privilege of working on you!!

Today,, I took my buddy Jake to OKC Smiles, and I have to say—I was genuinely impressed. Jake has been through a lot, and not everywhere treats him with the respect and kindness he deserves. But here, they truly saw him as a human being, with dignity and worth.
The staff showed compassion, patience, and professionalism from start to finish. They didn’t rush him, talk down to him, or act like he was a burden. Instead, they treated him like family. That kind of care is rare.
Honestly, I’m seriously considering switching to OKC Smiles myself. It’s not just about teeth—it’s about how you treat people. And these folks get it right.
Thank you for making today a great day.

I had some cosmetic dental work done with Dr. Phan and I could not be more pleased with the results. I spent years of my life feeling insecure about my teeth and uneven gum lines. My smile looks so much better now that my teeth appear whiter, longer, and even. Not to mention the fact that my gums are normal!! I can finally smile and laugh without feeling the need to cover my mouth. The staff at OKC Smiles are amazing. They have made me feel like more than just a number with the way they remember my name and are always so kind. Everyone from the dental assistants to the schedulers to the finance people are pleasant to be around. I normally do not leave reviews at places, but it would not feel right for me to not share my positive experiences with others after the way OKC Smiles went above and beyond to meet my needs.
