Dental Bonding in Forest Hills, NY
Sky Dental Care

Dental bonding is a cosmetic dentistry procedure where a tooth-colored resin material is applied to the teeth, sculpted into shape, hardened with a special curing light, and polished for a natural finish. Unlike veneers or crowns, bonding requires minimal tooth preparation, making it a more conservative and cost-effective option.

At Sky Dental Care, Dr. Hacikian and Dr. Bostanci specialize in creating beautiful results that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, so no one can tell where the bonding begins or ends.
