Bonding

What is dental bonding?

A tooth-colored material, composite resin, is applied directly to the enamel of teeth and shaped to correct the patient’s aesthetic concern. When exposed to a special ultraviolet light, the resin hardens into place.

When should I consider dental bonding?

You should consider bonding if you have teeth that are chipped, discolored, uneven, stained or gapped.

What are the alternatives to dental bonding?

Porcelain veneers and crowns, while more expensive, last considerably longer than bonding.
