Before Bonding

Bonding is a procedure used to repair chips, breaks and cracks, as well as to fill in gaps between teeth.

With bonding, a tooth-colored material called composite resin is applied to the damaged enamel using state-of-the-art dental adhesives, then it's cured using ultraviolet light.

After Bonding

So that it looks completely natural, the composite material is carefully matched to the patient's tooth color, and is sculpted and polished to the desired shape and contour.

Bonding can typically be done in one office appointment and lasts 5 to 7 years or longer.
