Bonding

Bonding is an excellent way to repair or change the shape or color of teeth, particularly front teeth. 

Bonding enables your dentist to:

• close spaces between your teeth
• repair chipped or worn teeth
• lengthen small or misshapen teeth
• whiten stained or darkened teeth

Bonding is a one-appointment procedure that starts with careful matching of the color of the bonding materials to your tooth color. Next, your teeth are lightly roughened and a gel is applied to ensure that the bonding materials will adhere. Then the bonding material is applied, sculpted and hardened with a high-intensity light. The final step is a careful polishing of your new teeth. Once in place, bonded restorations are very strong and can improve the appearance of your teeth, resulting in a beautiful, natural looking smile!  A single tooth can be shaped and colored, or your entire smile can be changed!
