Cover Natural Tooth Flaws with Cosmetic 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" over 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
