Dental bonding is a cosmetic and restorative treatment that uses tooth-colored composite resin to improve the appearance of a tooth.
Bonding may be used to address: - Small chips - Minor cracks - Discoloration - Small gaps - Irregular tooth shape - Certain minor alignment concerns How Does Dental Bonding Work?
The tooth surface is prepared and a bonding material is applied.
Tooth-colored composite resin is then placed, shaped, and sculpted to achieve the desired appearance.
The material is hardened and polished so it blends naturally with the surrounding tooth.
Bonding can often be completed in a single appointment. Composite resin is not as strong or stain-resistant as natural enamel or porcelain, so repairs or replacement may eventually be needed.
Your dentist can help determine whether bonding, veneers, crowns, or another treatment is best suited to your goals.
