Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is a procedure that helps restore the tooth structure with the use of bonding agents. The natural structure of the tooth is impossible to regain, but the materials used in dental bonding have properties that are similar to the enamel of the tooth. Dental bonding corrects the shape and size of the tooth by filling the gaps. It is more affordable than veneers, crowns, and lumineers and is an easy option for minor dental issues. The dental bonding procedure can be highly effective for conditions like fractured or chipped teeth, gaps and spaces between teeth, reshaping the size and structure of teeth, decay of teeth, discolouration, and more.
The procedure
