Tooth bonding is a simple option that can restore the look of damaged or unflattering teeth. Unlike veneers, tooth bonding is when resin is applied to the teeth. The dentist shapes the resin and as it dries, it forms to the tooth, covering imperfections and creating a natural-looking tooth. Your dentist can make the color of the resin a close or exact match to your teeth, making them look natural and blended. Tooth bonding does not require any damage or changes to the teeth, allowing a pain-free and quick recovery time.
It is important to treat your bonded teeth gently, as the resin is not as durable as the natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental exams will keep your teeth looking great after bonding, as well.
