A Relatively Easy Repair

With procedures such as bonding, we are prepared to help you achieve the smile you have always wanted.
Teeth that are chipped, discolored, or irregularly shaped lend themselves to a relatively easy repair known as “tooth bonding.” This cosmetic technique involves the use of a composite resin that the dentist uses to coat and reshape tooth surfaces, much in the way that a sculptor might use sculpting clay. Bonding can be used to lighten stains (by covering them), close minor gaps between teeth, and correct moderately misshapen teeth. Once the resin is applied to the tooth surface, it is hardened with a high-intensity light. Then, the dentist sculpts the hardened resin and polishes it. The resultant restoration matches surrounding teeth in terms of both color and form. In nearly all cases, tooth bonding involves a single visit.
