Bonding

Dental bonding is a procedure in which a tooth-colored resin material (a durable plastic material) is applied and hardened with a special light, which ultimately “bonds” the material to the tooth to restore or improve person’s smile. Dental bonding is an option that can be considered:

– To repair decayed teeth (composite resins are used to fill cavities)
– To repair chipped or cracked teeth
– To improve the appearance of discolored teeth
– To close spaces between teeth
– To make teeth look longer
– To change the shape of teeth
– As a cosmetic alternative to amalgam fillings
– To protect a portion of the tooth’s root that has been exposed when gums recede
