Tooth Bonding
Tooth bonding is a popular and effective way to improve your smile. It can be used to repair minor cosmetic flaws in your teeth and restore them to their original color, shape, or size. The procedure involves applying composite resin – the same material used for white fillings – directly onto the tooth surface, sculpting it into the desired shape, hardening it with ultraviolet light, and then polishing it for a smooth finish. Tooth bonding is a painless, affordable, and versatile dental procedure. It can be used to restore a chipped tooth or mask discoloration, as well as repair small chips or cracks on your teeth. The treatment can also be used to close gaps between teeth, giving you a beautiful smile. The process involves applying a tooth-colored composite resin material to the tooth surface by using an ultraviolet light curing unit. Once cured, this material hardens into place over your existing natural enamel for a seamless finish that will last for years to come!

A dentist performs tooth bonding with a composite resin that is colored-matched to your existing teeth. The resin is applied to the problem area on the affected tooth or teeth, sculpted into the desired shape, hardened, and polished for a smooth finish.
