Dental Bonding

So you want to enhance your smile, but you have concerns about procedures and cost.

Cosmetic bonding is the perfect solution!

Chipped, discolored or gapped teeth can be embarrassing and can affect your self-esteem and confidence. Inexpensive and conservative, bonding uses a tooth-colored composite material to restore teeth and enhance smiles.

The composite is placed on the tooth, then shaped and molded to achieve the desired results, including: whitening, closing spaces between teeth, making teeth appear straighter and repairing chips and cracks. The material is then hardened and polished, creating a natural appearance.

When Should Dental Bonding Be an Option?

Dental bonding is an option that can be considered:

to repair decayed teeth (composite resins are used to fill cavities)
to repair chipped or cracked teeth
to improve the appearance of discolored teeth to close spaces between teeth
to make teeth look longer
to change the shape of teeth
as a cosmetic alternative to amalgam fillings
to protect a portion of the tooth's root that has been exposed when gums recede
