Tooth Bonding

Bonding is a process that utilizes an enamel-like resin material that is not porcelain. It has been used for over 20 years for small front fillings and to repair chips in teeth. It is not recommended for those wishing to change the color or shape of multiple teeth. It has both advantages and disadvantages:

• Minimal tooth preparation
• Same-visit treatment
• Suitable for small fillings and repair of chips or small spaces
• Suitable for changing color or shape of teeth
• Stains on average in 3 years
• Fractures easily, weaker than porcelain
