What is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding is a conservative yet very effective way to enhance your smile with an easy treatment that requires little, if any, advanced preparation and usually no enamel reduction.  Dental bonding uses a composite resin filling that reduces or eliminates natural flaws in your teeth.

There are two types of bonding:

1. Minor Corrections - For correcting small fillings and fillings in front teeth, bonding is a good solution that can generally be completed in one dental visit. Color matching to your natural tooth provides a nice result and the bonding adds strength to a weakened tooth.

2. Major Corrections -For greater durability and strength, such as needed by a large filling, tooth colored fillings can be created at the dental lab. First, a mold is made of your teeth and you’ll receive a temporary filling. The dental laboratory creates a very durable, custom-fitted filling made of porcelain, then bonded to your tooth on your second visit.


Ask your dentist if bonding would be right for you.  it is a more inexpensive way to correct imperfections and brighten your smile!  

Keep smiling!
