Bonding
|
Bonding is a tooth-colored material, similar to plastic that the dentist applies to replace worn areas of your teeth and to build up areas where there should be tooth structure.
With today's new composites, we can achieve fantastic results!
Carefully matching your tooth color is a real art, and you want to make sure your dentist is skilled at doing so. With good composite bonding, nobody should be able to see any difference between your natural teeth and repaired areas.
Also, the bonding material must be painstakingly shaped to achieve the proper appearance (and contact surfaces). Proper shaping is an art. With direct bonding, a dentist can fill gaps and make your smile look better than new. Bonding is also excellent for replacing old fillings, covering grooves and even reducing sensitivity at the gum line due to recession.
