When bonding may be considered
- Small chips or edges
- Minor gaps between teeth
- Reshaping a slightly uneven tooth
- Covering small surface stains
The general process
The tooth surface is prepared, the resin is applied and shaped, then hardened with a special light and polished.
Considerations
- Bonding is more susceptible to staining than porcelain over time
- Very small changes are ideal for bonding
- Large changes may be better served by another category of treatment
Factors that can affect cost
- Number of teeth
- Complexity of the shape or shade match
- Whether other treatment is done at the same visit
