Bonding / White Fillings
Bonding is a
popular method to enhance the aesthetics of your smile. Bonding can be used to
correct cracks or gaps in teeth, as a filling after a cavity has been removed,
or to cover up stains or discolored teeth.
A composite resin is used on
the affected tooth or teeth. It is molded and sculpted over an adhesive gel that
is placed on the tooth. After the resin has been applied an ultraviolet light is
used to harden the resin, which is then polished to give you a fresh, new smile.
Bonding is an obvious improvement over unsightly silver amalgam
fillings. With the advancements in dental technology, bonding usually lasts for
over 10 years. It is a safe, affordable, and attractive solution for many dental
problems.
