Composite bonding (commonly referred to as bonding), can work wonders for a smile that’s developed some aesthetic damage.
Using materials that match the shade, translucency and texture of your teeth, gaps between teeth can be closed, spots and discolorations can be eliminated, and your self-confidence can be enhanced through the improved appearance of your smile.
Dr. Andreea Birsila will match the shade of your existing teeth and then tooth-coloured composite resin is applied to the tooth - similar to the procedure used for filling. The resin is hardened (cured) with a curing light and then shaped, contoured, and polished to give an authentically natural appearance.
