Consider Bonding to Repair Your Tooth

Bonding involves adhering composite resin material matched to the color of the tooth to the front of your tooth. This is done to repair damage done to the tooth by decay, to alter the alignment of the tooth or for cosmetic purposes.

First, the surface of the tooth is roughened in order to accept the bonding and hold it. A gel is applied to micro-etch the tooth surface and a primer/bond agent is applied so the material adheres to the surface. Then the material itself is placed on the tooth and hardened with intense light. The composite resin material is shaped and polished to get a lustrous finish as a last step.
