Bonding

What Is Teeth Bonding?

Teeth 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.

Teeth 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
