Dental Conditions

Bonding

Bonding enables your dentist to:

  • close spaces between your teeth

  • lengthen small or misshapen teeth

  • whiten stained or darkened teeth


    • A single tooth can be shaped and colored, or your entire smile can be changed!

    When teeth are chipped or beginning to wear, bonding can protect them from damage and restore their original look. Bonding your teeth with resin is a one-appointment procedure:

    First, teeth are roughened and a conditioning gel is applied. Then a tooth-colored material called resin is placed on the teeth, and is sculpted to the desired shape. A harmless high-intensity light hardens the resin, bonding it to the teeth.

    Once in place, bonded restorations are very strong. Bonding can greatly improve the appearance of your teeth, resulting in a more beautiful, natural looking smile!
