Bonding

Bonding is an effective and easy way to repair slightly chipped, discolored, or crooked teeth. The procedure is simply attaching a filling to the problem tooth, bonding to it and fixing it cosmetically and functionally.

The material comes in a wide variety of tooth-colored shades, so we can make it very closely match your specific tooth color, creating a natural look. This is also the reason that many patients choose to have their traditional fillings done with bonding instead of silver amalgam. It makes the filling almost completely unnoticeable. However, they don’t work in every filling case, depending on the location and extent of tooth decay.

Bonding is affordable and easy – it can often be completed in one easy visit to our Orlando office. However, the affordability of bondings comes at the cost of them being much easier to chip or break that other, stronger bonds such as porcelain veneers. Luckily, chipped or broken bondings can generally be repaired in one visit as well.
