Cosmetic Bonding
A simple way to improve the appearance of your smile, cosmetic bonding uses a natural-looking material to fill in gaps between teeth and to repair chips, breaks, and cracks. Bonding is the application of a tooth-colored composite. Unlike veneers, which are manufactured in a laboratory and require a customized mold to achieve a proper fit, bonding can be done in a single visit. The procedure is called bonding because the material bonds to the tooth.
Bonding does not typically require the removal of any tooth structure, making it an acceptable alternative to crowns or porcelain veneers. The composite material used for tooth bonding at our cosmetic dentistry practices in Union comes in many different shades so it can be matched precisely to the color of your teeth. The result is a natural-looking means of restoring your smile that can be completed in a single appointment.
