Tooth Preparation: The tooth will be kept dry and prepared for the new filling to ensure a secure bond.
Filling Placement: Dr. Xu will expertly mold the tooth-colored filling material and cure it with a special light to harden it.

Bonding

Dental bonding is a conservative and affordable way to restore chipped, crooked, or discolored teeth. This procedure involves applying a tooth-colored filling material to the surface of your tooth, which is then carefully sculpted and bonded in place to enhance its appearance.

Why Choose Bonding?

Natural-Looking Results: The bonding material comes in a variety of shades, allowing Dr. Xu to match it closely to your natural teeth, giving you a seamless, beautiful smile.
Quick and Convenient: Bonding can typically be completed in just one office visit, making it an efficient option for improving your smile.
Cost-Effective: It is more affordable than some other cosmetic treatments, such as veneers or crowns.

Considerations for Bonding

While bonding is a great option for minor cosmetic improvements, it is more prone to staining and chipping than porcelain veneers or crowns, which are stronger and more durable. However, with proper care, bonding can provide an excellent, long-lasting solution for enhancing your smile.

If you're looking for a simple and affordable way to improve the appearance of your teeth, dental bonding might be the perfect solution!
