Contact UsWhat is dental bonding and contouring?
No matter how hard you try to avoid them, accidents happen. You may take a bad step, trip, and chip a tooth. It's also possible that a tooth could become discolored for several reasons, such as from an illness or medication. Our team performs bonding and contouring to correct minor cosmetic flaws at our office in Simsbury, CT. A quick, effective treatment, bonding and contouring applies composite resin (the same material used for tooth-colored fillings) to mask discoloration, reduce gaps in your teeth, lengthen a tooth, or even change the shape of a tooth. If you want an effective treatment to improve your teeth, schedule an appointment to get more information about bonding and contouring treatments at Hope Family Dentistry.
Who is a good candidate for bonding and contouring?
Cosmetic bonding and contouring may help with chips, cracks, gaps, discoloration, short teeth, teeth shape, and other flaws. Bonding and contouring is an affordable cosmetic treatment and can normally be done in a single appointment. It doesn’t require preparations like veneers and crowns, but it isn’t as strong and typically doesn’t last as long. Bonding and contouring is ideal for minor flaws, so another cosmetic or restorative treatment may be considered if you require bigger changes. Our dental team will listen to your goals at your consult and discuss your best treatment options.
Hope Family Dentistry Reviews
I cannot say enough good things about this dental office and the care I received for my new top row of crowns. From start to finish, the entire process was effortless—insurance, payments, and options were all clearly explained in detail before I ever committed to treatment, which made me feel completely confident in my decision.The office staff was beyond accommodating, and Dr. Touloumi truly went above and beyond. She worked around my hectic schedule and was incredibly understanding and kind when I had to bring my two-year-old to one of my appointments—a level of compassion that meant so much to me. Dr. Touloumi personally followed up hours after every procedure and again the following day. Any time I had discomfort with my partials, I was seen the same day—even when the issue was my own doing. I genuinely felt like the entire office was emotionally invested in my new smile.Although my commute was about an hour each way, I would do the whole process again in a heartbeat because of the exceptional care I received. Dr. Touloumi’s attention to detail is absolutely mind-blowing, and as a perfectionist myself, I don’t say that lightly. My teeth look so natural that no one could ever tell—they truly look like I was born with a perfect smile.I am incredibly grateful to Dr. Touloumi and everyone at the practice, and I would recommend this office without hesitation to my closest friends and family.
Just had my first dental exam with Dr. Natalie Pesun. She was beyond lovely. Such wonderful bedside manner, very knowledgeable and asked thoughtful questions to get to know me and my history with past dental visits. The hygienist was amazing too! Kept me feeling very calm and comfortable. Looking forward to going back :)
What a great staff extremely helpful, kind. Had a little work done. It came out excellent!😁
Dr. Hope was great, but he has retired. Now Dr. Touloumi is seeing patients and is also great. The hygienists are outstanding. The desk employees are awesome. Everyone is knowledgeable and kind. This dentist office is ran by a small group of wonderful people. Happy to be a patient here.
DR HOPE RETIRED IN 2025. Dr Hope and his staff are nothing short of amazing. The office is spotless and they are practicing social distancing. Our family has gone to Dr. Hope for many years and we have been very happy with his work, his kindness and patience. I was scared to death of dentists but Dr. Hope worked with me to get over that. There is not a better dentist around. The hygienists are great, Melissa is my go to and is gentle and thorough, and fun. Going to the dentist is no longer something to dread. Can’t say enough about Dr. Hope and his staff.

What happens during bonding and contouring treatment?
Dental bonding and contouring is typically completed in a single visit at our office in Simsbury, CT. You should not need any anesthesia, but sedation options may be discussed with our dental team for concerns, like anxiety or a strong gag reflex, at your appointment. Once you are ready, our dental team will apply the composite resin to the needed areas of your teeth, aided by one of the team members. The composite resin will be hardened with a special light before more layers are added. Once the layers of composite resin are set, our dental team will contour and polish the filling material as well as your natural enamel for a beautiful finish.
What is recovery like following composite bonding?
After you've had dental bonding and contouring, it's important to avoid any potentially staining drinks and food (such as coffee, tea, and tobacco) for 48 hours. The composite resin can stain and chip, so don't bite down on hard objects like ice cubes, hard candy, pens, pencils, or your fingernails, and clean your teeth immediately after eating. Teeth that have been bonded and contoured need to be cleaned like natural teeth with daily flossing, brushing, and mouthwash. Bi-annual cleanings at Hope Family Dentistry can help to remove stains from the bonding material. With good care, dental bonding may last as long as ten years. During your annual dental exam, our dental team will help you determine if the bonding and contouring procedure needs to be redone to refresh your results.

About UsDoes insurance cover teeth bonding?
Dental bonding and contouring is an aesthetic procedure, so it's typically not paid for by dental insurance. Our team can contact your dental insurance company to confirm if it is covered, but you will probably pay out-of-pocket for this procedure. At your consult, we can discuss cost estimates and what payment methods we accept at Hope Family Dentistry.
