Dental 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 a person’s smile. Bonding is also fairly non-invasive and can usually be completed in one visit.
Dental Bonding can be a good treatment option for:
- Decayed teeth (composite resins are used to fill cavities)
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Improving the appearance of discolored teeth
- Closing spaces between teeth
- Making teeth look longer
- Changing the shape of teeth
- Protecting a portion of the tooth’s root that has been exposed from recession
