Bonding is tooth-colored plastic that the dentist applies to replace worn areas of your teeth and to build up areas where there should be tooth material.

Carefully matching your tooth color is a real art, and you want to make sure your dentist is skilled at doing so. With a good bonding job, nobody should be able to see any difference between your natural teeth and repaired areas.

Also, the bonding material must be painstakingly shaped to achieve the proper appearance (and contact surfaces). Proper shaping is an art. With direct bonding, a specialist in cosmetic dentistry can fill gaps and make your smile look better than new. Bonding is also excellent for replacing old fillings, covering grooves and even reducing sensitivity at the gum line due to recession.

Bonding can quickly fill in ugly gaps between teeth, or broken teeth		Bonding can also correct older and unsightly metal fillings
