Composite dental bonding is an affordable and effective cosmetic procedure used to repair minor imperfections in teeth, such as chips, cracks, gaps and discoloration. Our highly skilled dentist and team offers composite bonding to enhance the appearance of your smile while maintaining a natural look. The bonding material is a tooth-colored resin that is shaped and molded directly onto the tooth to correct cosmetic concerns.
How Composite Bonding Works
The process of composite bonding is simple and minimally invasive. During the procedure, Dr. Franklyn Aguebor and his team will first prepare the tooth by lightly etching its surface to ensure the bonding material adheres properly. Next, a tooth-colored resin is carefully applied and sculpted to the desired shape. After the resin is molded, it is hardened using a special light, and the final touches are made by polishing the bonded tooth to match the surrounding teeth. The entire process is typically completed in one visit, allowing you to enjoy immediate results.
