What is Dental Bonding?
Bonding involves using composite resin filling material on the front of the tooth to repair chipped, a decayed tooth, mask stains or discoloration, or fill gaps between teeth. The dentist bonds the Dental Bonding on the outer surface of the tooth. It is essential to match tooth color during bonding. In some instances, the patient may consider a whiter shade to make the smile look whiter.

Time needed: 1 hour
How is Dental Bonding Done?
- Tooth preparation
First, the dentist roughens the tooth surface to accept the bonding and hold it. He applies a gel to micro-etch the tooth surface.
- Bonding agent application
A primer/bond agent application follows the etching procedure—the bonding agent bonds the composite filling material to the tooth surface.
- Composite restoration placement
The last step includes placing the composite and shaping the tooth by hardening the composite with light application.
- Finishing and polishing
Finally, he contours and polishes the composite resin material to get a lustrous finish.
