Composit Bonding
A composite resin filling may be used when only a small amount of tooth structure
needs replacement. Composite bonding is one of the most conservative, versatile and
affordable ways to aesthetically restore a multitude of cosmetic problems.
To begin a bonding procedure, we treat the tooth with special enamel conditioner to roughen the enamel surface and allow the bonding material to adhere. A composite resin is then applied and shaped to match the contour of your natural tooth. The surface of the composite is then restored to the tooth's natural shape and polished to achieve a natural luster and appearance.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Many dentists and patients today favor restorations done using tooth-colored composites
or porcelain. The use of a tooth-colored filling material is not limited to new restorations,
however. There are numerous reasons why older restorations may need replacing, and we can use
these newer, more esthetic materials at that time.
