What is cosmetic bonding?
Cosmetic bonding involves applying thin layers of composite resin to the surface of the tooth to correct imperfections in shape, color or size. The resin bonds directly to the enamel and creates a more uniform smile in a conservative way, often avoiding more invasive treatments.
How much does cosmetic bonding cost in Lima?
The price of cosmetic bonding depends on the type of treatment (resin veneer, reconstruction, diastema closure or recontouring), the number of teeth and the complexity of the case. After your evaluation we give you a fixed quote.
What cosmetic bonding treatments do we offer?
- Direct resin veneers: applied and sculpted directly on the tooth, ideal for cosmetic touch-ups.
- Aesthetic reconstructions: replace fractured or worn areas of the tooth and restore its shape and color.
- Diastema closure: closes gaps between teeth in selected cases, without the need for orthodontics.
- Dental recontouring: a minimal adjustment of shape or size for a more symmetrical smile.
What are the benefits?
- Visible improvement in a short time
Usually completed in a single visit.
- Conservative procedure
Preserves as much of the natural tooth as possible; in most cases no reshaping is needed.
- More affordable cost and simple maintenance
An aesthetic alternative to more complex treatments.
- Repairable
The resin can be polished, touched up or modified whenever needed.
- Dental harmony
Helps improve the proportions and shine of your smile.
When is cosmetic bonding recommended?
- Teeth with small chips or worn edges.
- Mild stains or discoloration.
- Gaps or diastemas between the front teeth.
- Small differences in size or shape between teeth.
- Patients who want to improve their smile with a minimally invasive treatment.
How long does cosmetic bonding last?
It depends on the size of the restoration, the bite and each patient’s habits. With good hygiene and regular checkups, the resin can last many years, and if it wears down or stains it can be polished or repaired.
How should I care for it?
- Maintain good oral hygiene with daily brushing and flossing.
- Avoid biting hard foods or opening things with your teeth.
- Avoid smoking and limit staining drinks such as coffee or wine.
- Schedule regular checkups and polishing to maintain the shine.
- Wear a night guard if you have bruxism.
