Dental bonding
Dental bonding, or composite resin bonding, is a fast and affordable solution for patients who need to repair the appearance of the natural tooth. This material is commonly used in dentistry because it is versatile and beautiful. When properly prepared, it can look just like natural tooth enamel and blend in with the smile. Drs. Chong Lee, Joseph Oh, and Kirsten Lee are dedicated professionals who can use dental bonding in a variety of situations. It can be used to:
- Fix a tooth that has been chipped or cracked
- Cover a tooth that is not properly aligned or shaped
- Fill an area of decay within a tooth
- Disguise small gaps between teeth
How does it work?
First, a dentist consults with a patient to decide if this is the right solution for their needs. Second, the tooth is prepared, sometimes with the filing down of the natural enamel so the bonding can stick. Third, the bonding is applied and shaped to the tooth before it is cured and hardened with a special light. Fourth, the dentist files and polishes the bonding to finish the work.
