Bonding is a composite resin that is used as an alternative to amalgams and veneers. This is an excellent cosmetic option for those patients who are searching for an alternative to silver fillings without the expense of veneers. Bonding fillings can be used on teeth that are decayed, chipped, or stained.

 

 

   The bonding procedure is completed in one visit. The first step is to remove the decayed or unsightly portion of the tooth. The tooth is then etched with a liquid or gel and a bonding agent is applied. This will allow the composite resin to be placed in the prepared tooth. The resin is then trimmed and polished, leaving you with a beautifully sculpted, natural-looking restoration.
