TOOTH-COLORED BONDING & FILLINGS
Bonding refers to tooth-colored restorative material that can be used to treat teeth in many different ways. The bonding material is a resin that strongly adheres to tooth structure and comes in many different shades to match the tooth. Modern bonding materials are long-lasting and blend in so well that they can hardly be detected.
A bonded filling also requires the removal of less tooth structure. Bonding can be used to repair fractured front teeth or in cases where cosmetic improvement is desired. The entire bonding procedure can usually be accomplished in one appointment and in many instances without using any anesthetic.
