Composite resin restorations are a procedure where tooth-colored filling material is used to repair areas of decay or replace silver fillings.  Composite resin restorations are durable and help bond the tooth together more than metal fillings.  Shade selection is varied and a great deal of care is given to selecting the correct shade and matching the existing tooth color.

Bonding

  Bonding is a procedure where a tooth-colored filling material (composite resin) is placed and sculpted onto the teeth to produce beautiful, natural and healthy looking teeth.  It is a conservative method used to resotre decayed, chipped, crooked or discolored teeth, or to close small gaps or spaces between the teeth.  When used to imporve a smile cosmetically it can be a labor-intensive procedure, requiring artistry and skill on the part of the dentist as the composite is layered and the shading varied.  Bonding is not as long lasting or durable as an all-porcelain laboratory-fabricated veneer, but it can produce beautiful and natural looking teeth and give you a gorgeous smile in one office visit.
