If you have a chipped, slightly misaligned, or otherwise
imperfect tooth that needs cosmetic restoration, we may suggest one-appointment
bonding. The dentist can apply liquid composite resin, shaded to blend with
your tooth's color, to rebuild a pleasing shape to your tooth. After hardening
the resin with a curing light, he will artistically sculpt and polish the
restoration. In just one visit, you can enjoy a beautiful new smile! Cosmetic
bonding can be a viable, affordable alternative to porcelain veneers, but it
lasts only 5 to 10 years with proper care. Bonding will not discolor as your
natural tooth enamel will, so touch-up teeth whitening may
be required to keep your natural teeth the same shade as the bonded area.
