Bonding

When it comes to dental care, bonding is a procedure that helps to repair or enhance your teeth. This type of cosmetic dentistry can improve the appearance of chipped, cracked, discolored, and misaligned teeth. It's also used as an alternative to more invasive procedures such as veneers and crowns.

What is Dental Bonding?

‍

Dental bonding is a service that helps to restore the appearance of your teeth through a process referred to as "bonding." During this process, a tooth-colored composite resin material is applied directly to the surface of the tooth. This material is then hardened with an ultraviolet light or laser. Once the bonding material is hardened, it can be sculpted and polished to match your natural teeth.
