Bonding

Bonding involves adhering a tooth-colored composite resin material to the remaining tooth structure and can be used to repair the damage done to the tooth by decay, to alter the tooth’s alignment, close gaps between the teeth, or for cosmetic purposes.

First, we roughen the surface of the tooth to enhance bonding. We apply a gel to micro-etch the tooth surface, followed by a primer/bonding agent to ensure the material adheres effectively. Next, we place the material on the tooth and harden it with intense light. Finally, we shape and polish the composite resin to achieve a lustrous finish.
