What is bonding?
Simply, it is a technique used to stick tooth-coloured materials (composite) to teeth. It is the same material used for composite fillings.
How does it work?
The tooth enamel is gently cleaned to prepare the surface before the bonding agent is placed. The dentist will then apply tooth coloured composite resin material in small amounts over a stained, crooked, short, chipped, or broken tooth. A special light is then used to harden and set the material. The material is then polished to perfection. Once complete, the material will look just like natural tooth enamel.
