Eliminate little imperfections
Diminished confidence and oral health can result from minor issues like small chips, gaps, and stains, causing frustration. Dental bonding offers a straightforward yet efficient remedy. This technique involves the direct application of a natural-looking white composite resin onto your teeth. Its purpose is to conceal tooth damage, mask flaws, and enhance your smile, providing both aesthetics and resilience.
An added advantage is that this entire procedure can be finished in just a single, convenient appointment.
Bonding caters to several minor concerns, such as:
- A solitary discolored tooth
- Tiny spaces between teeth
- Minor chips, cracks, or cavities
- Incorrectly shaped tooth
