What Is Cosmetic Bonding
Cosmetic Bonding Procedures use a tooth-colored, resin-based material to bond to the tooth, replacing small defects, and covering areas of discoloration or defects in the tooth surface or shape.
More About Cosmetic Bonding
If you have small gaps between your teeth, small defects, or small areas of discoloration in your teeth, dental bonding may be the right remedy.
Tooth-colored fillings may be placed in your tooth with minimal reduction of the enamel. They blend in so well that they normally cannot be seen.
Done in one appointment, your tooth will be thoroughly cleaned to ensure a durable bond. Because an enamel surface delivers the strongest bond, your tooth’s enamel is left intact. After cleaning and etching the area with a weak acid, a tooth-colored material is applied in layers, beginning with a thin liquid bonding agent and progressing to thicker layers of tooth-colored material designed to match the exact shade of your tooth.
