Dental Bonding

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding (or teeth bonding) is a fast, non-invasive cosmetic procedure using tooth-colored composite resin to repair, reshape, or improve the appearance of teeth. It treats chips, cracks, gaps, discoloration, and exposed roots by applying, molding, and curing resin with a specialized light.
