Bonding is a quick, painless in-office procedure
to repair cracks, chips, gaps between teeth or cover stained
teeth to enhance your smile. Bonding can often be done without
anesthesia if there is no decay or pulp exposure. The bonding
material is developed in many shades allowing the dentist
to accurately match the shade of your natural teeth. The
composite resin forms a durable, stain resistant surface
that is later smoothed and polished to give it a natural
appearance and feel.
Bonding can be used to:
- Protect exposed roots of teeth
- Repair cracks, unevenness, chips
- Close spaces between your front teeth
- Reshape crooked or misshapen teeth
- Replace old or unattractive silver fillings
- Whiten stained teeth
- Replace missing teeth
- Stabilize loose teeth
