The number of dental repair techniques available today is remarkable, allowing contemporary dentists to choose the method that best suits an individual patient’s needs.
One of those amazing techniques is called bonding. In the case of a chipped, discolored, cracked or decayed tooth, a dentist can smooth bonding material into place to restore the look of a damaged or discolored tooth. Other times, bonding is used to close gaps between teeth and to protect the roots of teeth when receding gums have exposed them.
Bonding can also be used to replace those old, silver amalgam fillings a lot of us still have with an option that more closely resembles the color of the filled tooth. The ability to make “bonding agents” in a variety of shades means that repairs that may once have looked exceptionally obvious can now blend in with the tooth being repaired.

Dental Bonding Results
You can expect to be over and done with your bonding treatment in one visit of about 30-60 minutes (unlike a process such as dental veneers, which requires a minimum of one office visit for measuring, the time it takes for a lab to make your veneers and then a second office visit to have them put in place). And in addition to being a fast solution, bonding is cost-effective. That doesn’t mean that bonding is recommended for all situations, but it does mean that you don’t have to have a more costly procedure if bonding suits your needs.
