Composite tooth bonding can produce a dramatic improvement in the appearance of your smile. For patients who are uncomfortable with the appearance of their teeth, this can make a significant difference in self-esteem and social confidence. Using a natural-looking, toothlike composite material which bonds directly to your natural teeth, your dentist can correct a number of cosmetic issues, such as discoloration, cracks, chips, misalignment, and discoloration. Because the composite comes in a variety of colors to match your natural teeth, bonding produces beautiful, natural-looking results.
Because the composite comes in a variety of colors to match your natural teeth, bonding produces beautiful, natural-looking results.
Because the material used in bonding expands and contracts just like your natural tooth, it is much less likely to cause cracks. In the bonding process, the composite material bonds directly with the tooth, providing support and strength, and filling in gaps, chips or cracks permanently. Not only is your smile more attractive, your teeth are restored to their full function and strength.
Teeth bonding is affordable and is often covered, at least partially, by insurance. Because the procedure is performed relatively quickly, there are few office visits to pay for, and the procedure itself is generally less expensive than other procedures which produce similar results. Furthermore, most cosmetic dentists offer financing plans that can make bonding accessible to most patients, regardless of their financial situations.

Does tooth bonding make your smile look fake? I would love to get my teeth done but veneers always look very artificial. I don't want to look like I'm wearing dentures!
