Bonding can be used as a restorative procedure for teeth that are chipped, cracked, or unevenly spaced. Bonding is done by lightly etching the tooth surface and applying a bonding liquid. Once the liquid sets, a plastic composite resin is applied and sculpted into the desired shape by the dentist. Once set, the resin is trimmed, smoothed and polished to a natural appearance. The bonding procedure can often be completed in a single office visit and can improve the appearance of a tooth significantly. However, since the plastic resin used is not as strong as your natural tooth enamel, it is more likely to stain, chip, or break than natural teeth. Bonding typically lasts three to five years before repair is needed.
