Tooth Bonding

Do you have spaces between your teeth, or have decayed, chipped or cracked teeth that make you hesitant to smile?

One easy and affordable option is tooth bonding. Tooth bonding is a procedure in which a tooth-colored resin material is applied to your teeth and hardened with a special light. This material ultimately "bonds" to the tooth to restore or improve the beauty of your smile.

Tooth bonding is an option that can be considered:

To repair decayed teeth by filling cavities
To repair chipped or cracked teeth
To improve the appearance of discolored teeth
To close spaces or gaps between teeth
To make teeth look longer
To change the shape of teeth
As a cosmetic alternative to traditional amalgam fillings
To protect a portion of the tooth's root that has been exposed when gums recede

Teeth Bonding

Teeth bonding has many benefits. It is among the simplest and least expensive of cosmetic dentistry procedures. Unlike veneers and crowns, bonding can usually be accomplished in just one office visit unless several teeth are involved.

Dental bonding material, however, does not resist stains as well as crowns and is not as long-lasting or strong as other restorative procedures, such as crowns, veneers, or fillings.

Because of this, dental bonding may be your best option for small cosmetic changes, for temporary correction of cosmetic defects, or for correction of teeth in areas of very low bite pressure (for example, your front teeth).
