What is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding (also known as "tooth bonding") is a process utilizing tooth colored resin filling that can

Fix decaying teeth
Repair chipped teeth
Fill cracked teeth
Fill gaps between teeth
Re-shade discolored teeth
Lengthen teeth
Re-shape teeth

The most common material used for dental bonding is composite resin because of its durability and it can also be made to match the color of teeth.

Dental Fillings vs Dental Bonding

The main difference between fillings and bonding is that fillings are not used for cosmetic purposes. Fillings are used to help fix the structure of the tooth while bonding is used to fix both the structure and aesthetic of the tooth. Simply put, a bonding is a filling that also improves the way your teeth look.
