Bonding with Composite

A broken tooth is repaired quickly, easily and inexpensively

Another method of handling esthetic problems is bonding. This technique involves placing a composite resin directly onto the enamel of the teeth to be added to or covered. Composite resin has the appearance and consistency of dough until it is exposed to a special light source. Although bonding can look as good as veneers.........they will generally not last as long.

The broken tooth was restored with a composite (plastic) filling material. No anesthesia was required, no tooth structure was removed, and the result is an excellent restoration that improves the patient's appearance and self confidence!
