Bonding and White Filling
Bonding is a popular method to enhance 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 composite resin
is used on the affected tooth or teeth. It is molded and sculpted over an
adhesive gel that is placed on the tooth. After the resin has been applied an
ultraviolet light is used to harden the resin, which is then polished to give
you a fresh, new smile.
Bonding is an obvious improvement over unsightly
silver amalgam fillings. With the advancements in dental technology, bonding
usually lasts for over 10 years. It is a safe, affordable, and attractive
solution for many dental problems.
