Cosmetic Bonding

Cosmetic Bonding Is the Process of Applying a Tooth-Colored Composite Material to Improve the Appearance of a Tooth

This process improves the aesthetics of your smile while allowing the tooth to maintain a natural appearance. In order to bond a tooth, tooth colored material is added to the tooth to build it up.

Bonding Is Often Used To:

• Correct the shape of a chipped tooth
• Correct the appearance of a cracked tooth
• Provide more even tooth color

Advantages of Bonding Over Other Treatments Include:

• Bonding can be a less expensive treatment than other cosmetic options
• An appointment for bonding treatment usually takes less than one hour to complete
• Bonding usually allows the tooth’s structure to be preserved

Bonding may sometimes be preferred over veneers or crowns but may not be as long-lasting or durable. Bonding material can stain from coffee, tea, tobacco or some foods so proper home care is important.
