Dental bonding is a simple, conservative way to repair chipped, discolored, or slightly crooked teeth. It’s commonly used for cosmetic improvements. The process involves applying a tooth-colored resin (white filling) to the tooth and shaping it to enhance its appearance. The material bonds directly to your tooth and is matched to your natural shade for a seamless look. Bonding can also be used instead of traditional silver (amalgam) fillings. Many patients prefer bonded fillings because they blend in naturally and can be used on both front and back teeth, depending on the extent of decay. Bonding is more affordable than many cosmetic treatments and is typically completed in a single visit. However, it can stain over time and is not as strong as options like porcelain veneers. If your bonding chips or breaks, it can usually be repaired quickly in one appointment—just let us know.
"Great Dentist!"
