Bonding
At Fairview Dental, our bonding procedure consists of adding tooth-colored composite material to “fill in the blanks” of our patient’s smile, when their teeth have spread too far apart. One of the most frequent uses of the bonding technique is to fill in a gap between front teeth.
Before: A noticeable space between the front teeth.
After: Bonding fills the space, but still keeps the teeth looking natural.
This durable coating is applied and hardened with a special light, which ultimately “bonds” the material to the tooth
One of the most frequent uses of the bonding technique is to fill in a gap between the two (2) front teeth. Think David Letterman, Michael Strahan or Madonna…
Dental bonding is an ideal way to correct minor cosmetic concerns. Using the same hard, durable composite resin that is used in fillings, your Fairview Dental dentist can sculpt a brand new surface onto your natural teeth that is imperceptible and undetectable.
Unlike veneers and crowns, which are customized tooth coverings that must be manufactured in a 3rd party lab, tooth bonding can be done directly in our offices. Another advantage, as compared to veneers, is that the least amount of tooth enamel is removed. And also, unless dental bonding is being performed to fill in a cavity, anesthesia is typically not even required.
