Bonding
Bonding is a dental procedure in which composite resin is adhered to the tooth in
order to improve the appearance of your smile. It repairs chips, cracks and
broken teeth and also covers badly stained teeth.
When patients have gaps on their teeth, the bonding procedure can be used to
fill in the space between them. Bonding is used in cosmetic dentistry because it
gives a natural look by rebuilding your teeth and improving your smile.
The first step for the bonding procedure is the dentist choosing a composite
resin that matches the natural color of your teeth. The dentist prepares the
tooth and applies the composite resin that is dried and hardened with a curing
light. In order to give the tooth a good appearance, it is buffed and polished.
This procedure has many advantages such as: it is inexpensive, fast, relatively
painless, long lasting and effective!
