Bonding

Bonding refers to the placement of tooth-colored resin to correct chipped and broken teeth; discolored teeth; and, in some cases, spaces between teeth. Bonding is generally considered more conservative than veneers or than other cosmetic dentistry. The benefits of bonding include the ability to maintain the natural structure of the tooth and the ability to color and sculpt the resin to create natural-looking teeth. Like a natural tooth, the resin may stain with the use of coffee or other staining foods.
