Bonding is a popular method to enhance the aesthetics of your
smile. Bonding can be used to correct cracks or gaps in teeth,
as a filling after a cavity has been removed, or to cover up
stains or discolored teeth.
A composite resin is used on the affected tooth or teeth. It is
molded and sculpted over an adhesive gel that is placed on the
tooth. After the resin has been applied an ultraviolet light is
used to harden the resin, which is then polished to give you a
fresh, new smile.
Bonding is an obvious improvement over unsightly silver amalgam
fillings. With the advancements in dental technology, bonding
usually lasts for over 10 years. It is a safe, affordable, and
attractive solution for many dental problems.
