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.
Composite resins are not only cosmetically pleasing and easily placed, they are incredibly durable and safe for all your teeth, even the molars. Unlike older fillings which may induce stress in your teeth and cause them to crack, bonded composites become "one" with your tooth. With the tooth and the filling working in harmony you get beauty, form, and function all together in one restoration.
