If you have a front tooth that is chipped, slightly misaligned, or an otherwise imperfect tooth that needs cosmetic restoration, we may suggest bonding. The dentist can repair or reshape your teeth with a white filling material that will match your teeth. After hardening the resin with a curing light, he will artistically sculpt and polish the restoration. In just one visit, you can enjoy a beautiful new smile! Cosmetic bonding can be a viable, affordable alternative to porcelain veneers, and can last several years with proper care. Bonding will not discolor as your natural tooth enamel will, so touch-up whitening may be required to keep your natural teeth the same shade as the bonded area.
