Information on Dental Bonding

Cosmetic dental bonding is an excellent option for individuals who wish to repair imperfections in one tooth or several teeth.

How it works

Dental bonding uses a tooth-colored resin; a durable plastic material, to repair a variety of structural issues with your teeth, oftentimes for cosmetic surgery. The basic concept is that dental bonding applies a "cover" of any natural flaws in your current teeth, by applying a thin coat of plastic material on the front of them. It is hardened with a special laser that essentially bonds the material to the tooth to improve your smile.

Dental bonding is used to repair:

• To repair decayed teeth (composite resins are used to fill cavities)
  
• To repair chipped teeth
  
• To repair cracked teeth
  
• To improve the appearance of discolored teeth
  
• Remove stains
  
• To fill in gaps between your teeth
  
• To change the shape of teeth
  
• To protect a portion of the tooth's root that has been exposed when gums recede
