Bonding

Dentist San Diego

Bonding is the application of tooth-colored composite resin, which can significantly enhance the appearance of your smile.

Bonding can help do the following:

  • Create a filling to treat a cavity
  • Correct chips, cracks, or gaps in teeth
  • Cover up discoloration on teeth

Procedure

First, your dentist will choose a shade of composite resin that matches your smile, and will then apply and sculpt the resin over your tooth. After the resin has been applied, an LED light will be used to harden it. Your dentist will polish your newly restored tooth after the resin has set. Results are visible immediately and can drastically change the appearance of your smile.

Bonding is a safe, affordable, and aesthetically pleasing solution to many dental problems.
