Bonding
is a conservative way to repair slightly chipped, discolored, or crooked
teeth. During dental bonding, a white filling is placed onto 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.
Tooth bonding can also be used for teeth fillings instead of amalgam fillings. Many patients prefer bonding fillings because the white color is much less noticeable than the silver 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 usually
can be completed in one visit to our office. However, bonding can stain
and is easier to break than other cosmetic treatments such as porcelain
veneers. If it does break or chip, tell your doctor. The bonding can
generally be easily patched or repaired in one visit. | ||
