Bonding is a conservative way to repair slightly-chipped, discolored
or crooked teeth, often for cosmetic purposes. The process comprises
placing a white filling on your tooth to improve its appearance. The
filling "bonds" with your teeth, and because it comes in a variety
of tooth-colored shades, it closely matches the appearance of your
natural teeth.
Bonding can also be used in place of
regular amalgam fillings. Many patients prefer bonded fillings,
because the white color is much less noticeable than the silver of
the amalgam fillings. Bonding fillings can be used on front and back
teeth, depending on the location and extent of tooth decay.
Bonding is less expensive than other cosmetic treatments
and can usually be completed in one visit to our office. However,
bonding can stain and breaks more easily than other cosmetic
treatments like porcelain veneers.
If your bonding does
break or chip, please let us know. We can generally patch or repair
bonding in one visit.
