COSMETIC TOOTH BONDING
Available in a variety of natural-looking shades, composite bonding (plastic resin) restorative materials are an excellent cosmetic approach for concealing minor flaws in front teeth, such as small chipped areas or spaces between teeth. Composite fillings are often used to repair small areas of damage or decay in back teeth as well.
The Cosmetic Tooth Bonding process
After the tooth is shaped for the restoration, a pliable composite material is applied to the tooth surface and hardened with a special curing light. Your doctor will adjust the restoration to suit your smile and bite, and you are on your way!
- Resin composite materials are mercury-free; while not as durable or long-lasting as porcelain crowns or veneers, bonding can be a less costly approach to address minor esthetic challenges in front teeth.
- We will check your restoration at your preventive visits to monitor for signs of wear or decay.
Smile Design
Bonding is also a great way to make cosmetic decisions about your smile. We often temporarily place bonding materials as a means of communicating with you to determine the shape, size and shade of your permanent porcelain crowns and veneers.
