Transitional Bonding
A conservative way to test the look and feel of a smile makeover before committing to permanent restorations.
A preview of your new smile
Transitional bonding uses tooth-colored composite material to reshape teeth and preview the look of a planned smile makeover. It lets you try on a new bite and smile shape before any permanent work is done — and it gives Dr. Aiello a chance to fine-tune the design with your feedback.
When you're ready, the transitional bonding can be replaced with permanent veneers, crowns, or other restorations. Call (708) 345-3440 to learn more.

- You feel self-conscious about the color, shape, or alignment of your teeth.
- You have chips, gaps, or worn-down edges that show when you smile.
- Old crowns, fillings, or bonding no longer match your other teeth.
- You'd like a single coordinated plan instead of one-off fixes.
