Your smile is one of your most powerful assets. At JAX Dental Studio, we understand that even minor imperfections in your teeth can affect your confidence. That’s why we’re proud to offer dental bonding—a simple, effective, and affordable solution to transform your smile in just one visit.
Located in the heart of Jacksonville, FL, our experienced team led by Dr. Charles Poblenz uses the latest techniques and materials to deliver natural-looking results that enhance your appearance and boost your self-esteem.
Dental bonding is a cosmetic dentistry procedure that uses tooth-colored composite resin to repair, reshape, or enhance your teeth. The composite material is carefully applied to your tooth, sculpted to the desired shape, hardened with a special light, and polished to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
This versatile treatment can address a wide range of dental concerns, making it one of the most popular cosmetic procedures available today.
Dental bonding is remarkably versatile and can correct many common dental issues:
Chips and Cracks: Accidents happen, and even a small chip can make you self-conscious about your smile. Dental bonding restores the shape and function of chipped or cracked teeth.
Gaps Between Teeth: If you have small spaces between your teeth that you’d like to close, bonding can fill these gaps without the need for braces or aligners.
Discoloration and Stains: Some stains don’t respond well to whitening treatments. Bonding can cover stubborn discoloration, giving you a brighter, more uniform smile.
Misshapen Teeth: If your teeth are irregularly shaped or too small, bonding can reshape them for a more balanced appearance.
Exposed Tooth Roots: When gums recede, they can expose sensitive tooth roots. Bonding protects these areas and reduces sensitivity.
Comprehensive dental care accessible to all families regardless of insurance type or coverage limitations.
At JAX Dental Studio, we’ve perfected the dental bonding process to ensure your comfort and satisfaction. Here’s what you can expect:
Initial Consultation: During your first visit, Dr. Poblenz will examine your teeth and discuss your goals. We’ll determine if dental bonding is the right solution for your needs.
Preparation: Unlike some dental procedures, bonding typically requires little to no tooth preparation. In most cases, anesthesia isn’t necessary unless we’re filling a cavity.
Shade Selection: We carefully select a composite resin color that matches your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless result.
Application: The tooth surface is lightly etched and a conditioning liquid is applied to help the bonding material adhere. The resin is then applied, molded, and smoothed to the desired shape.
Hardening: A special UV light or laser is used to harden the material quickly.
Final Touches: Once the bonding is hardened, Dr. Poblenz will trim, shape, and polish it to match the sheen of your natural teeth.
The entire process usually takes 30 to 60 minutes per tooth, meaning you can walk out of our Jacksonville office with a transformed smile the same day you walk in.
Quick and Convenient: Most bonding procedures can be completed in a single visit to our Jacksonville office, making it perfect for busy schedules.
Affordable: Compared to other cosmetic dental procedures like veneers or crowns, bonding is one of the most cost-effective options available.
Minimally Invasive: Bonding preserves most of your natural tooth structure, requiring little to no removal of tooth enamel.
Natural Appearance: The composite resin used in bonding is carefully matched to your tooth color, creating results that look completely natural.
Versatile: From minor repairs to significant cosmetic improvements, bonding can address a wide variety of dental concerns.
Immediate Results: There’s no waiting period—you’ll see your improved smile immediately after the procedure.
With proper care, dental bonding can last anywhere from three to ten years. Here are some tips to maximize the lifespan of your bonding:
The composite resin used in bonding can stain over time, so maintaining good habits will keep your smile looking bright and beautiful.
While dental bonding is an excellent solution for many patients, it’s helpful to understand how it compares to other cosmetic treatments:
Bonding vs. Veneers: Veneers are thin shells of porcelain that cover the entire front surface of your teeth. While they’re more durable and stain-resistant than bonding, they’re also more expensive and require more tooth preparation. Bonding is ideal for minor repairs, while veneers are better for comprehensive smile makeovers.
Bonding vs. Crowns: Dental crowns cover the entire tooth and are typically used for more extensive damage or decay. Bonding is less invasive and more conservative, making it perfect for cosmetic improvements and minor repairs.
Bonding vs. Whitening: Teeth whitening removes stains and brightens your natural tooth color, but it can’t repair chips or change tooth shape. Bonding can address structural issues while also improving color.
During your consultation at our Jacksonville office, we’ll help you determine which treatment—or combination of treatments—will best achieve your smile goals.

Dental bonding is typically painless. Since the procedure usually requires little to no removal of tooth enamel, anesthesia is often unnecessary. You may experience minor sensitivity afterward, but this typically resolves quickly.
With proper care, dental bonding can last three to ten years before needing touch-ups or replacement. The longevity depends on the location of the bonding, your oral habits, and how well you maintain your teeth.
The composite resin used in bonding doesn’t respond to whitening treatments. If you’re considering both bonding and teeth whitening, it’s best to whiten your teeth first so we can match the bonding to your newly brightened smile.
Coverage depends on whether the bonding is considered cosmetic or restorative. If it’s used to repair a damaged tooth or fill a cavity, insurance may provide partial coverage. Our team at JAX Dental Studio will work with your insurance provider to maximize your benefits.
Dental bonding can improve the appearance of slightly misaligned teeth by reshaping them, but it’s not a substitute for orthodontic treatment for significant misalignment. We can discuss all your options during your consultation.
