Bonded Tooth-Colored Fillings

Bonding is a versatile method to improve the aesthetics of your smile. Bonding can be used to correct cracks or gaps in teeth, as a filling after a cavity has been removed, or to cover up stains or discolored teeth.

A tooth-colored composite resin is used on the affected tooth or teeth. It is molded and sculpted over an adhesive that is placed on the tooth. After the resin has been applied an ultraviolet light is used to harden the material, which is then polished to resemble a natural tooth both in terms of function and form.

Bonding is an obvious improvement over unsightly silver amalgam fillings. With the advancements in dental technology and proper care, bonding can last for 10 years or more. It is a safe, affordable, and attractive solution for many dental problems.
