What is composite resin bonding, and how does it work?
Composite resin bonding is a popular cosmetic dentistry treatment that can improve the appearance of teeth that are either chipped, cracked, gapped, or stained. The material is made of a putty-like resin color-matched to the natural teeth. Our office has over 15 different shades of bonding to choose from, readily stocked and available for same-day application. Once the selected material is applied to the tooth surface, it is sculpted into the desired shape and hardened with a special light. The result is a durable and beautiful-looking restoration that can blend in seamlessly with the smile.

There are many benefits associated with composite resin bonding, which is why it has become such a popular treatment option for those seeking to improve the aesthetics of their smiles. Some of the benefits of this treatment include:
- It is a minimally invasive procedure that doesn’t require the removal of tooth structure
