Repair Your Smile With Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is the application of a material, usually composite resin, to the surface of a tooth to improve its appearance. The resin is malleable and easy to alter, so when it is placed on the tooth, it can be sculpted to fully change the appearance of the tooth. The resin will then be hardened, trimmed and polished by our prosthodontists to complete the bonding process. We will take care to use a shade of composite resin that matches the natural color of your teeth for a natural, beautiful restoration. We can also use a slightly whiter shade if you are interested in whitening your teeth. Dental bonding is a simple and comfortable way to improve your smile, and the treatment can be completed in just one easy visit!
Bonding can correct a variety of imperfections, including gaps and spaces between teeth, misshapen or short teeth, discoloration and chips or cracks. Because our prosthodontists specialize in the aesthetics and function of dental restorations, you can trust that even this straightforward treatment will be performed with exceptional attention to detail.
