Tooth bonding is a low-cost, quick, and painless way to repair a variety of cosmetic flaws. It can be used to effectively improve the appearance of front teeth that are chipped, stained, or heavily filled, as well as to close small gaps between front teeth and improve the appearance of slightly crooked ones. Our dentist will pick a color that matches the color of your teeth most closely. Then, it is hardened and set in place with a curing light and finally shaped and polished till it matches your other teeth. Teeth bonding is a conservative procedure that does not involve removing any of your tooth structure. Thus, bonding is an excellent choice for patients who want to achieve a more aesthetic smile while preserving as much of their tooth structure as possible.
This procedure is best suited for
- Closing of small gaps between teeth
- Repairing chipped or cracked tooth
- Increasing the length of the tooth
- Stained or dark teeth which do not respond to bleaching
- Small cosmetic dental changes that involve the temporary correction of cosmetic defects or correction of teeth in areas of very low bite pressure (e.g. front teeth)
