Cosmetic Bonding
Cosmetic bonding is a process in which a composite resin is layered onto the teeth, cured with a harmless, high-intensity light, and then sculpted to the desired shape.
Early cosmetic dentistry used bonding resins to reshape
and hide old discolored teeth - restorations that now
involve more durable porcelain veneers.
But for minor cosmetic modifications and repairs, bonding resins are extremely strong and wear-resistant.
Bonding is used to reduce spaces between teeth, lengthen small teeth, or repair a tooth that’s worn or chipped.
