Dental bonding is a popular and minimally invasive treatment procedure used to fix a range of cosmetic dental issues including: gaps between teeth, cracked or chipped teeth, or discoloration.
There are different types of dental bonding, but the most common is the application of direct composite bonding.
In this procedure, a composite resin material is applied to your teeth and shaped and molded to look like a tooth.
Once the composite is hardened it is strong and will feel like a real tooth and function like a real tooth.
