Cosmetic bonding is an innovative technique that can help create a more radiant and confident smile!
Cosmetic bonding uses tooth-colored composite material to enhance the appearance of a tooth. This technique not only improves the look of your smile but also helps the tooth retain a natural appearance. To bond a tooth, a tooth-colored material is added to build it up and create the desired shape.
Bonding is often used to:
- Correct the shape of a chipped tooth
- Correct the appearance of a cracked tooth
- Provide more even tooth color
Advantages of bonding over other treatments include:
- Bonding can be a less expensive treatment than other cosmetic options
- An appointment for bonding treatment usually takes less than one hour to complete
- Bonding usually allows the tooth’s structure to be preserved
Bonding may sometimes be preferred over veneers or crowns but may not be as long-lasting or durable. Bonding material can stain from coffee, tea, tobacco, or some foods so proper home care is important.
