Bonding (Composite Resin Bonding)

A process by which enamel-like resin is bonded to a tooth's surface, sculpted to an ideal shape, hardened, and polished. Bonding covers discolorations, repairs chips, breaks and cracks and fills in gaps. It is a virtually painless procedure that is usually completed in one visit. Periodically, it may have to be recoated or replaced, since it usually lasts from three to five years.
