Cosmetic bonding is a quick procedure that helps restore teeth to their natural look. It is a great way to correct flaws such as cracks, stains, small chips and other cosmetic problems. A composite resin is placed on the tooth and shaped to cover up or correct the flaw. After the resin has been applied and shaped, a high intensity light is used on the resin to harden it. After it has hardened the resin is then polished and will blend in naturally with your teeth. In almost all cases this can be performed in one visit.
Cosmetic bonding is a great option because it is more aesthetically pleasing than silver fillings to fix tooth decay or cavities, and is also less expensive than procedures like porcelain veneers to correct discolored or flawed teeth.
